# Database Error – Should I worry?

 * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-error-should-i-worry/)
 * wp_posts: 1 client is using or hasn’t closed the table properly
    wp_options: 
   Table is marked as crashed wp_sitemeta: 1 client is using or hasn’t closed the
   table properly
 * This is the error message I get. I did add the
 *  define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);
 * to the wp-config.php file (I added it as the very last line). It appeared to 
   go through the repair process and then got this error message.
 * WP is functioning (at least as far as I have been able to tell).
 * Should I be worried? Should I do anything here?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
