# Categories missing, database error

 * Hi,
 * All my categories are missing and none of my posts are showing up (probably cause
   my categories are missing :S).
 * Here’s the error that I get:
 * WordPress database error: [Got error 28 from storage engine]
    SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
   wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_term_relationships.
   object_id) INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON (wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id
   = wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) WHERE 1=1 AND wp_term_taxonomy.taxonomy 
   = ‘category’ AND wp_term_taxonomy.term_id IN (‘8’) AND wp_posts.post_type = ‘
   post’ AND (wp_posts.post_status = ‘publish’ OR wp_posts.post_status = ‘private’)
   GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 9
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * I repaired the database using phpmyadmin. Categories are back/posts are showing
   again 🙂
