Database Error: TABLE FULL (wp_options & wp_postmeta) (2 posts)

    I've searched the Internet, the forums, and the bug reports for 3 days to try to find an answer but couldn't.

    Had a clean install of 2.3.0 with MySQL on a Windows Server.

    Worked perfectly with the theme and all plugins for 2 weeks. Then suddenly this error occured. (about 100 posts are up)

    Error: upon editing or publishing I get a Database Error that two Tables are Full

    WordPress database error: [The table 'wp_postmeta' is full]
    INSERT INTO wp_postmeta (...) VALUES (...)

    WordPress database error: [The table 'wp_options' is full]
    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'a:424:{i:1192930370;a:1:{s:8:\"do_pings\";a:1:{s:32:\"40cd750bba9870f18aada2478b24840a\";a:2: ...lots of data here...'
    WHERE option_name = 'cron'

    Actions Taken:

    1. Deactivated all plugins - errors still there
    2. Backed up the database, upgraded to 2.3.1 from 2.3.0, first deactivating all plugins - errors still there
    3. Opened up the DB (have a dedicated server) using MySQL Administrator and looked at the schema. No table is even 50% capacity and the two tables in the error wp_postmeta and wp_options are at 144kb and 1.1MB respectively

    The Table Types are InnoDB and I'm not sure if that would be an issue since the default size should be 2TB on a Windows server:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/full-table.html

    I wouldn't think that a table could fill up after a blog is up for two weeks. The site itself is fine. These errors only occur when trying to write or edit a page or post.

    The issue wouldn't seem to be the theme or any plugin based on the tests I have done above, but who knows.

    I've searched everywhere for an answer because I don't like to waste anyone's time. There does appear to be a lot of data in the 'cron' row of the [wp_options] table but I don't know if that is normal.

    Thank you for your professional help.

    Same problem here. Have less than 200 posts. Nothing is anywhere near my capacity but after two weeks I'm no longer able to see my list of published pages because I get an WordPress database error [MySQL client ran out of memory]
