Hello,

I have multiple DBs on one webhosting account they are running similar versions of a shopping cart. Many of the table names are the same but all of the scripts are located in different folders so there is no chance of script crossing. The problem locations are in password protected folders so there is no chance of hacking. Everything has been working fine for a few years.

One of the DBs (Database_one) was deleted via Cpanel11 under the MySQL Databases option (MySQL 4.1.22-standard). It seems as if when the DB (Database_one) was deleted, it also deleted the tables with the same names from another DB (Database_four) and then replaced the missing tables with tables with the same names from another DB (Database_five).

Confused? Try this.
Database_one : Tables A, B, C, D, E -- Intentionally Deleted
Database_two : Tables A, B, C, D, E -- No Problems
Database_three : Tables A, B, C, D -- No Problems
Database_four : Tables A, B, C, D, F, G, H, I, J -- Tables A, B, C, D, E Mysteriously Deleted & Replaced by Tables A, B, C, D from Database_five. Table E is completely gone
Database_five : Tables A, B, C, D-- No Problems

Has anyone seen an overwriting problem like this or am I wrong is there some other cause?

I'd appreciate any help. I don't want to rebuild the DB without knowing the cause.
