What is a myi file and how do I open a myi file?

The MYI file extension is known as MySQL MyISAM Index File and is used by MySQL to store indexes for a MyISAM table. MYI stands for MYIndex extension. MySQL database index defines the structure of the table and contains the control mechanism to check integrity of tables. It defines the structure of the table and includes a counter in the header that shows whether or not the table has been closed properly. Table header has to be modified each time the table is opened. It also offers full text indexing as compared to other database and gives exact metadata resulting to simpler calculations.  It requires a file descriptor open for each client for the same table data file. Index file descriptors are shared between clients, which sometimes lead to high usage of open files limitation. Files in MYI format can be opened with SQLite and Microsoft SQL Server in Microsoft Windows.
