Fixing broken tables

Common MySQL table issues

Common problems in this class include:

  • corrupt indexes

Methods of fixing them are as follows:

  • running a repair on the table from phpMyAdmin’s Operations tab or executing REPAIR TABLE tablename; phpMyAdmin’s SQL tab
  • Doing a repair from your hosting control panel’s databases page (if they don’t offer phpMyAdmin)
  • Manually running REPAIR TABLE tablename; from within mysql from the command line on your server, if you have ssh access.
