Without affecting any content? I want to do a delete cache, delete cache_form, delete cache_menu, etc...

Thanks in advance.

No problem, you can empty the cache tables. The relevant command will be "truncate" or "empty"
(*not* "drop" or "delete").

However, you can simply go to admin/settings/performance and hit the "Clear cache" button instead (in Drupal 6).

cog.rusty -- do you know the syntax for repair of mysql table (water) and maybe check of table, too? I came to this message/topic because I am looking for a way to repair a crashed cache_form table. Table structure display stops in phpmyadmin when I hit cache_form. I'm was thinking I would try empty or truncate (syntax?) but I am assuming if it's crashed then I can't empty, yes?

I can't clear the cache from the admin pages because I can't get to them (good ole 500.)

I'm used to working with MS and Oracle databases, thus delete, although truncate works too - no logging.

Thanks.
