mysql error: Table "mysql"."innodb_table_stats" not found

Question

I'm getting the following error in mysql 5.6 community edition:

: Error: 
Table "mysql"."innodb_table_stats"
 not found. InnoDB: Recalculation 
of persistent statistics requested for table "mydatabase"."mytable" 
but the required persistent statistics storage is not present or is corrupted. 
Using transient stats instead.

how do I fix this error?

Answer 1

This solved my problem.

/* temporary fix for problem with windows installer for MySQL 5.6.10 on Windows 7 machines. I did the procedure on a clean installed MySql, and it worked for me, at least it stopped lines of innodb errors in the log and the use of transient innodb tables. So, do it at your own risk..

1. drop these tables from mysql: innodb_index_stats innodb_table_stats slave_master_info slave_relay_log_info slave_worker_info

2. delete all .frm & .ibd of the tables above.

3. run this file to recreate the tables above (source five-tables.sql).

4. restart mysqld. Cheers, CNL */
