Subject: Corrupting MySQL on purpose for testing

Hi,

I'm working on a program that will run in the event that tables are
crashed or corrupt. Can anyone recommend a good method for crashing my
tables or corrupting them so I have some test cases? I'm mostly
interested in MyISAM and InnoDB table types.

I was thinking I would just start an infinite loop with an UPDATE
statement in it and then kill -9 the mysqld process.

Any better ideas?

Thanks, Rich(ard)
