[mythtv-users] Re-init my db?

So, I did something dumb.

My HD filled up and the mysql database got corrupted.  While running
through the myisam files, I accidentally overwrote the record table
with a poorly typed command.  Kids, take this as a lesson.  Stay away
from root.  Anyway, I eventually got all the tables repaired, except,
of course, the record table, which I gather is fairly central to the
operation of mythback.

I was looking around for the db schema to try to recreate the table by
hand, but I haven't been able to find an up-to-date one.  Anyway, even
if I could get the table created successfully, the db would have all
sorts of out-of-sync data.  What I'd like to do is clear out all the
tables that depend on record, while leaving my settings intact.  I
don't really care about the data on my already-recorded programs.  I
didn't really have anything I cared about.  I really don't want to
have to re-setup all the myth settings and prefs, though.  Can anyone
help me out?  Thanks.
