Question

I try to delete from a table in mysql but it doesn’t allow me.
I run:

delete from mytable where sourceid=2;

and I get:

ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mydatabase.history_mytable' doesn't exist

What is wrong here ? I think there should be an option to configure mysql in order not to check for this history table.

Run this command:

Show triggers like "%mytable%"

Source: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-triggers.html

And then if some trigger exists,

Drop trigger if exists mytable.[trigger_name]

Source : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/drop-trigger.html

if you don’t use the trigger.
