 * Hello,
 * Thanks in advance for your help.
 * Today our website was down ‘error establishing a database connection’ and on 
   the /wp-admin page instructions for how to launch database repair.
 * During the WP database repair we got this error:
 * wp_options: Wrong block with wrong total length starting at 139909512
 * Could you possibly help us to work out what is happening and how to fix this?
 * Thanks!
 * Sarah

 * Thanks so much for your help [@beydah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beydah/)
   I appreciate it muchly.
 * It turned out that logging into phpMyAdmin and repairing the wp_options table
   there fixed the issue for us.
 * Thanks for such a comprehensive response.
 * Kindest,
 * Sarah
