What a life saver !!!
This seems to be an issue when moving from V4-5 with large tables (I only had the issue on one table our of 40 I was migrating).

I was getting the "table crashed error" but the "up to date" message when trying to do a MYSQL repair or a mysqlcheck on the table. Based on the post, I ran the myisamchk (rather than USE_FRM on the repair cmd)... sweet !

Alright. You were right!

Apparently when I repaired or restored the table...it really repaired the issue! I went back and piece by piece began editing pages. I was nervous and made a backup beforehand. It took!

I really do need to edit the pages also because apparently upon repair or the restore [I am not sure which] it added a lot of ? [question marks] to random areas. I corrected the most recent posts of this.

Thanks for all of your help. And now I am not scared to edit my posts thanks to your question. LoL...Still. I need to get my blog moved to the domain I got and update my WordPress.

I am also now a member of your MyBlogLog community so I can <strike>stalk</strike> follow your blog. :-)

I never heard of a table crash when editing a post before.

Tell me about it!

Let me give you the specs. WP 2.0.6 [Don't laugh! :P] I'll have to see if it happens again after restoring the table. It wasn't a "blog post" per se...but was a page off the parent. [This page: Resources.]

I needed to update some information. It may turn out whacked because I'm going in to test editing it to see if it yields a crash. If you watch you may be able to see it. ...oh and of course....when it crashes [although it references only the one table as being crashed and in need of repair...the entire site goes down and I get 404's sitewide.

I never heard of a table crash when editing a post before. what version are you using exactly? Maybe you could copy the same blog but create a new database and see if it still crashes. If it does then it's most likely a conflict between your mysql version and your wordpress version. If not then it may just be a problem with the database you repaired, in which case I would export it as SQL, delete it and then recreate it from SQL. Btw does this still happens after you restored the backup table?

I used myisamchk because I did read time and time again from various tech -related resources that to use_frm was a baddie if you'd previously built your tables with one version and then got upgraded - which was my case.

In my case I was built and contrived on mySQL 4 and then host went to v. 5. There was no issue until an edit. When I edited a page...it was like the Wordpress 'E bomb' exploded.

I utilized your suggestion and all was well.

Then I went back to edit again and again...it happened. This time no commands were working. I restored a backup table and that was a success. Currently my server tech's are looking into it. My version of WP is so old my grandmother was wearing black and white clothes when it came out...so I am thinking it's an incompatibility with mySQL 5 that's causing the original crashes.

I'll keep you posted if you like. If other people find this nice post under similar circumstances they may be interested to hear any solution I find?

I'm glad to hear the post was helpful. Which suggestion did you try the one with USE_FRM or the one with myisamchk ?

This post saved my life. [Ironic you posted it on my birthday!]

My server is in [was] in the middle of an upgrade from mySql 4 to mySQL 5. I like that you offer your own experience. I tried your suggestion and was successful. Now if I can just keep that table [wp_posts] from crashing everytime i try to now alter a post... hopefully the server's being worked on and it has to do with the upgrade though my mySQL knowledge is limited.

Thanks for this. I Stumble thumbed it up! I'll be back! Fabulous.
