Possible hacking attempt?

[HMBeaty]

I'm not sure if anyone else has had these errors come across, but this is the 2nd one I've got in 2 months.

  Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:
   
  Invalid SQL:
  SHOW CREATE TABLE `vb_taggregate_temp_1339494960`;
   
  MySQL Error   : Table 'vb_taggregate_temp_1339494960' doesn't exist

I've searched plugins and can't find anything relating to this error, and I've also searched files with nothing relating to this error.

Any ideas?

Not sure what that is, but it doesn't look like a hacking attempt IMO

That's the temp table name used by the threadview.php cron job, but the thing I don't understand is that there is no "SHOW CREATE TABLE" in that code.

Edit: ...but that's used by the backup function. Are you by any chance using cron based backup? I'm thinking maybe it's just that it's trying to back up a temp table after it's been deleted.

You can safely delete that table, as Kevin says if you have a cron based backup thats running every month then there's your two instances, the table is created when one of your tables corrupts or crashes...etc
