You guys are awesome. I have been freaking out since this morning. For some reason this happened to my posts table as well. Thanks so much for sharing.

Well…I had this same problem 2 days consecutive. Each post database crashed on my 2 blogs, both hosted on my main website root.
Pfuh…that was very very stressy at first sight.
This repair function saved twice my precious online datas )) It is very effective.
But, when I was searching for a solution, I also read around that in some cases , the simple repair function was not enough for various dark reasons.
There is the real deal.
So yes. I totally agree : put the WP back-up plugin + back up your MySql database very regularly if you post often.

But, now …as I doubt it will not happen again, I would like to know WHY ????
There must be a reason…I found out that space could be a problem, a plugin conflict..
Did you find out the reason ?
If it is a space problem, how do I check this ?
Thank you and wishing it will not again,
Cheers,

Just wanted to say thank you! This article helped me restore my website and got things back to normal. I am going to back up more often. This was a good learning experience. Luckily, I had to do was repair the wp_posts file and everything was good to go. Thanks again!

Hey there, thanks soooooo much! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw ALL my posts were gone (aaaaaaargh).
Your solution worked after trying others, with no results. Thanks again!
