I have three servers. I want to copy MySQL database data from 2 servers to third server.
All servers have some or the other data in MySQL server instance running on them.
I didnt have spacy left on the servers so rather than doing mysqldump i just copied database folders i.e. /var/lib/mysql/dbname
Now its showing me names of databases and tables in server where I aggregated all this data (for commands like show databases, show tables) but when I access tables its giving me "Table doesn't exist error"
I am guessing it has something to do with not handling ibdata files in /var/lib/mysql . Given my case what can be done to merge them properly
