MySQL 1034: Table is marked as crashed.

When encountering the error "1034: Table is marked as crashed" in MySQL, the immediate action to take is to repair the crashed table using the MySQL `REPAIR TABLE` command. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Identify the Crashed Table: The error message will usually specify which table has crashed. Suppose the table's name is `yourtablename`.



  1. Use the MySQL Command Line: Log into your MySQL database via the command line. You can do this using the following command:



mysql -u your_username -p

You will be prompted to enter your password.

  1. Select the Database: Before you can repair the table, you need to select the database it resides in. Replace `yourdatabasename` with the name of your database:



USE yourdatabasename;

  1. Repair the Table: Execute the following command to repair the table:



REPAIR TABLE yourtablename;

If the table is very large or if the `REPAIR TABLE` command does not fix the issue, you may use the `myisamchk` utility from the command line instead (for MyISAM tables). Make sure the MySQL server is not using the table (you might need to stop the server):

myisamchk --recover /path/to/your/table/yourtablename.MYI

Replace `/path/to/your/table/` with the actual path to your table files, which typically reside in the MySQL data directory.

  1. Verify the Repair: After the repair process, verify the table's integrity by running:



CHECK TABLE yourtablename;

  1. Review MySQL Logs: Check the MySQL error log for any underlying issues that might have caused the table to crash. This can help prevent future occurrences.



Remember, always back up your data regularly to prevent loss from crashes or other failures.
