How is the MyISAM table stored?

by

MyISAM table is stored on disk in three formats.

  • ‘.frm’ file : storing the table definition
  • ‘.MYD’ (MYData): data file
  • ‘.MYI’ (MYIndex): index file

MyISAM tables in MySQL are stored as three types of files on the disk:

  1. .frm file: This file stores the table definition.
  2. .MYD file: This file contains the data.
  3. .MYI file: This file holds the index data.

Each of these files is crucial for the functioning of a MyISAM table.
