   Hi,

   My WP Options database have been emptied.

   and...

   I have manually updated to the new WP 3.1.1.

   When I attempted to enter admin, I got:
   "One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired."

   Then:
   "To allow use of this page to automatically repair database problems, please add the following line to your wp-config.php file. Once this line is added to your config, reload this page.
   define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);"

   I did the config change, but reloading the webpage does nothing.

   Any idea?

   Thanks. I did a database REPAIR in phpMyAdmin, but to not avail.

   Chris

   Do you have a recent database backup?

   Esmi,

   Thanks for your presence.

   Yes, I have just realized that DreamHost does daily database backup (in addition to my own backup). I will restore.

   However, my accident shows that the WP automatic repair does not work as advertized, IMHO.

   Thanks so much for your kindness.

   Ciao,

   I think there are limits to any database repair operation if the database is badly trashed.
