 * I recently upgraded my WordPress, and for some reason I couldn’t log in via Internet
   Explorer. I’ve been using Safari, but I tried again today to login using IE and
   it worked! but for some reason, now all of my entries are gone! I get this error:
 * Database error: [Got error 28 from table handler]
    SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts
   WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2005-01-26 03:58:59’ AND (post_status = “publish”)
   GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 5
 * What do I do? Can I import them from a database backup, (and if so, how?) or 
   do I have to reinstall, or what? how did this happen?
    thanks, Zandra

 * Did you backup? Just clear the mysql tables then reapply your backup.

 * Error 28 – email your host – it’s their problem, not yours.

 * It appears I have the same problem (different specifics) as a previous poster.
   Everything was fine, then I went to view the blog and I got this error:
 * Database error: [Got error 28 from table handler]
    SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE
   1=1 AND (post_status = “publish” OR post_author = 1 AND post_status != ‘draft’)
   GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 15 No posts found.
 * I have NO idea what to do now.
 * Anyone read “database” ease. I can go and view each post individually if I go
   to edit comments and “view post” and they’re fine. It just won’t organize them
   to edit posts or view the blog at all – nothing displays but some color and the
   error message at the top.
 * ???

 * Again, this is something that your webhost needs to fix.

 * What do I tell them they need to do. I had to hand-hold the last time when they
   upgraded their php version, and send them your comments. Should I send them the
   link above?

 * They were having general problems….
    It appears they repaired it.
 * Thank you again.
