How to Check and Repair MySQL Tables Using MySQLcheck

For some reason my WordPress site was not displaying the correct information. The site uses WooCommerce and the products was not displaying at all. This was quite strange.

I thought I’d better backup the database so when I did, I received the following error message:

mysqldump: Got error: 145: Table ‘./xxx/wp_postmeta’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired

This got me a little worried. So after some researching I had to check and repair MySQL database and tables.

The commands I had to use were:

To check the database

# mysqlcheck -c [database_name] -u root -p

# mysqlcheck -r [database_name] -u root -p

After running the repair, the problem was fixed.
