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:
mysql -u your_username -p
You will be prompted to enter your password.
USE your
database
name;
REPAIR TABLE your
table
name;
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/your
table
name.MYI
Replace `/path/to/your/table/` with the actual path to your table files, which typically reside in the MySQL data directory.
CHECK TABLE your
table
name;
Remember, always back up your data regularly to prevent loss from crashes or other failures.
