MySQL database not loading table data My centOS 7 server had an unexpected shutdown. For some reason one of the mysql database shows that all tables are empty, but if I browse the files in /var/lib/mysq/database I can see the files(.frm and .ibd and the other files) opening them with a text editor I can read some of the data in it.

What's wrong here? why is one of my database not reading the files or loading the data?

Edit: I still have all my files related to the database such as ibdata1, all other databases/schemas are working fine except for one. That one database I can browse the tables but loading the data shows empty tables.
First attend to the error for which the server had unexpected shutdown. Without attending this you can not move ahead.

And then for the database / tables missing data...

1. Log files are to start with. 

Find the date/time range in which those particular .frm and .ibd files and the ibdata1 are last updated (not last accessed) and look for all entries of all relevant log files. Hope you can check all relevant...

Once the lines of log files with issues are identified, you yourself can correct them or else just post them here

2. Look at
