title: Restoring MySQL database from physical files
body: <p>Is it possible to restore a MySQL database from the physical database files. I have a directory that has the following file types:</p>
  
  <p>client.frm<br>
  client.MYD<br>
  client.MYI  </p>
  
  <p>but for about 20 more tables.</p>
  
  <p>I usually use mysqldump or a similar tool to get everything in 1 SQL file so what is the way to deal with these types of files?</p>
