 * Hello,
 * I’ve messed the database up with phpmyadmin. I did empty on the posts and terms
   tables. Everything seemed fine when I did empty on posts (and all the posts were
   gone which is what I wanted). I then did it on terms (I wanted to delete all 
   categories). That’s when there was an error.
 * I tried the automatic database repair function and it didn’t fix anything. I 
   have a feeling I messed up the structure of the terms table. How do I fix this
   without reinstalling word press? Thanks.
