 * You have three choices of what you can do:
    1. use [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin) (or whichever tool your
       host has available) to attempt to repair the database tables yourself.
    2. Ask your hosting cmpanies support staff to repair the database tables. They 
       might do this and they might not dpeending on the level of support that you 
       get from them.
    3. Delete the tables and restore then from a previous back up (you have been taking
       backups, haven’t you?)
