3 ways to repair a database

===================
1. you need to upload tools.php from your vB zip file to your /admin directory and run this url

yourdomain.com/admin/tools.php

and click [Repair Tables]

2. or using mysqlcheck repair for 3.23.38 and above

i.e. in shell/telnet/ssh type while mysql is running and forum is CLOSED:

mysqlcheck -r -u mysqlusername -p databasename

3. or via myisamchk repair functions while mysql is shutdown/stopped in shell/telnet/ssh type :

myisamchk -r -u root -p databasename

option #3 most likely requires server and mysql root access to first stop mysql and then run myisamchk repair options.

If none of those work, you will need to contact your host for help.
