Can not delete row from MySQL

Question

Howdy all,

I've got a table, which won't delete a row. Specifically, when I try to delete any row with a GEO_SHAPE_ID over 150000000 it simply does not disappear from the DB.

I have tried:

1. SQLyog to erase it.
2. DELETE FROM TABLE WHERE GEO_SHAPE_ID = 150000042 (0 rows affected).
3. UNLOCK TABLES then 2.

As far as I am aware, bigint is a valid candidate for auto_increment. Anyone know what could be up? Whenever I perform any of the above operations and refresh the table listing, the row re-appears. You gotta help us, Doc. We’ve tried nothin’ and we’re all out of ideas!

DJS.

EDIT: as per Daniel Vassallo's suggestion:

mysql> SELECT * FROM `GEO_SHAPE` WHERE GEO_SHAPE_ID = 150000042;
Empty set (0.01 sec)

ANSWER: After discovering the 'check' and 'repair' commands in MySQL, I found corrupt keys, so fixed those and it worked.

PS. Here is the table construct and some sample data just for giggles.

CREATE TABLE `GEO_SHAPE` (
  `GEO_SHAPE_ID` bigint(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `RADIUS` float default '0',
  `LATITUDE` float default '0',
  `LONGITUDE` float default '0',
  `SHAPE_TYPE` enum('Custom','Region') default NULL,
  `PARENT_ID` int(11) default NULL,
  `SHAPE_POLYGON` polygon default NULL,
  `SHAPE_TITLE` varchar(45) default NULL,
  `SHAPE_ABBREVIATION` varchar(45) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`GEO_SHAPE_ID`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=150000056 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 CHECKSUM=1 DELAY_KEY_WRITE=1 ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;

SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;

UNLOCK TABLES;

ANSWER: Corrupt table. I fixed this with 'CHECK TABLE GEO_SHAPE;' and then 'REPAIR TABLE GEO_SHAPE;'

Answer 1

Just tried it with your data, and it worked as expected:

DELETE FROM `GEO_SHAPE` WHERE GEO_SHAPE_ID = 150000042;
-- Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Result:

Did you try:

SELECT * FROM `GEO_SHAPE` WHERE GEO_SHAPE_ID = 150000042;
