odd persistent view in tables ??

[i_dvlp]

I've got some kind of a strange thing going on.
a view, lets call it 'xyxj'
that shows up when I run > show tables

Using MySQL Administrator it shows up as a view, I can drop it, but
it reappears on refresh.

Using the CL, as 'root' I've tried both drop table 'xyxj' and
drop view 'xyxj'
I get errors table/view does not exist.

Under information_schema, I can look at 'tables' and for this
'xyxj' only 'table_name' is defined 'xyxj' All other columns are
null.

This is preventing me from doing backups mysqldump, etc.

Using MySQL beta 5.0.4 Is there any logging / log file that can
tell me whats going on ?

Hi,

is there a corresponding .frm file in the data/[database] directory?

However, 5.0.4-beta is a very old version (current is 5.0.17) - I would
recommand you to update to the current version (there was a lot of change
in-between).
