snipped.

Anyway, to make it more simple:


1. Will there be a case such that, if my table is using MyISAM, it can
be recovered, but now it can't as I am using InnoDB?

2. Will there be a case such that, if my table is using InnoDB, it can
be recovered, but now it can't as I am using MyISAM? (except the
reason InnoDB didn't corrupt...usually)

Thanks.
