For INNODB, only 1 file of type .frm will be created. For MyISAM all the above 3 files will be created. Incase of INNODB, .frm file holds data and indexes.

Very useful information. Could we recover .MYD or .MYI files, if these files had been missed?

As database is created , one folder is created mapping with database name.
As you create tables in it for each table these three files are created

.frm:- table definition
.MYD:-table data
.MYI:-table indices

if you copy that folder from wamp\mysql\data\(database name folder) to your pc.
and then delete that database from console,, after that put again (database name folder) to wamp\mysql\data\ that path,,,,it recovers the all table structure with table data…
