 * Hi –
    I have a blog that’s been up and running for a couple of months. All of
   a sudden I got a database error – and intsructions to copy code into wp-config
   to repair. After repairing, I got the following messages along with a suggestion
   to seek help on the forums. So, here I am:
 * wp_usermeta: 1 client is using or hasn’t closed the table properly
    wp_posts:
   3 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly wp_comments: 2 clients
   are using or haven’t closed the table properly wp_options: Table is marked as
   crashed wp_postmeta: 3 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
   wp_terms: 1 client is using or hasn’t closed the table properly wp_term_taxonomy:
   2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly wp_term_relationships:
   2 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
 * The blog seems to be functioning okay (and most recent post is there) but if 
   something is damaged, I’d like to repair it so it doesn’t happen again. Thx.

 * The very first thing to do is back up everything, so if trying to repair makes
   it worse, you can recover.
 * Then if you are familiar with phpMyAdmin, you can repair the tables with it. 
   Follow the directions in the Codex [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_do_you_repair_a_MySQL_database_table.3F).
 * If not, try to install a plugin, such as [WP-DBManager](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager/)
   that can do database repairs.
