I'm using MAMP and OS X 10.10.1 and use Time Machine to backup my local environment. I've recently had several occurances where a database disappears from phpMyAdmin and is inaccessible to my local site but is visible if I connect through mysql on the command line. I do however see that some of the databases are conflicted and are listed like so:
wp_commentmeta
#mysql50#wp_comments (MacBook Pro de...conflicted
wp_comments
What is the best way to get rid of these conflicted files? I think the conflicted file contains the most recent information so I would prefer to keep that if possible.
I'm guessing this is the reason for the tables disappearing from phpMyAdmin?
The error that keeps the databases from appearing indeed seems to be the message itself. Removing the #mysql50# and the conflict message as well as the less recent version of the table will leave the database in its most recent state before the conflict occurred.
