What is

MySQL 1200: Index is corrupted.

 ?
  1. Identify the Corrupted Table: First, try to identify which table is corrupted. Run the MySQL command to check all tables in the database:



CHECK TABLE tablename;
Replace `tablename` with the name of your table. If you have multiple tables, you might need to run this command for each.

  1. Repair the Table: If the `CHECK TABLE` command indicates corruption, use the `REPAIR TABLE` command to attempt a repair:



REPAIR TABLE tablename;
This command attempts to repair the corrupted table. Note that it works for MyISAM and ARCHIVE tables. For InnoDB, the approach is different (see step 3).

  1. InnoDB Tables: If the corrupted table is an InnoDB table, MySQL's automatic recovery process should kick in, but if it doesn't, you might need to restore from a backup. If no backup is available or you want to try to recover without restoring:



- Check the MySQL error log (often named `mysql_error.log`) for any InnoDB-specific messages that might indicate the nature of the corruption.
- Use `innodbforcerecovery` option in the `my.cnf` (or `my.ini` on Windows) configuration file. Start with a low level (1) and increase as necessary up to 6. This option allows the MySQL server to start so you can dump your tables:

[mysqld]
innodbforcerecovery = 1

After setting this option, restart the MySQL server and dump your databases:

mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > all_databases.sql

Then, stop the server, remove the `innodbforcerecovery` line (or comment it out), and restart the server. Drop the corrupted database(s), and restore from the dump:

mysql -u root -p < all_databases.sql

  1. Check Hardware and Filesystem: Sometimes, corruption can be due to underlying hardware or filesystem issues. Run a filesystem check (e.g., `fsck` on Linux) and check your hardware (e.g., HDD/SSD for errors).



  1. Check for Disk Space: Ensure you have enough disk space on the server, as a full disk can cause corruption and other errors. Use `df -h` to check disk space on Linux.



  1. Review MySQL Logs: Look into the MySQL error log for any indications of what caused the corruption or other related errors. This can provide clues for preventive measures in the future.



Remember, if you are not comfortable performing these actions or if the data is critical, consider consulting a professional.

MORE ISSUES

MySQL Replication Lag
In a replication setup, a noticeable delay between master and slave, leading to outdated data on replicas.
MySQL Query Timeouts
Queries failing due to exceeding the configured timeout limits, often caused by complex or inefficient queries.
MySQL Frequent Crashes or Restarts
The MySQL server crashing unexpectedly or restarting often, possibly due to hardware issues, configuration problems, or resource exhaustion.
MySQL Frequent Deadlocks
Frequent deadlocks occurring during transactions, causing failed queries and rollback operations.
MySQL Full Disk/Storage Issues
Running out of disk space due to large logs, binary logs, or unoptimized data storage, leading to service disruptions.
MySQL InnoDB Buffer Pool Issues
Inefficient use of the InnoDB buffer pool, leading to high disk I/O because of frequent page swapping.
MySQL Table/Index Fragmentation
Fragmented tables or indexes leading to slower performance due to inefficient data access paths. This can often be mitigated by running OPTIMIZE TABLE.
MySQL Disk I/O Bottlenecks
Slow disk performance, often caused by poorly optimized queries, large temporary tables, or inadequate indexing.
MySQL High CPU/Memory Usage
The MySQL server consuming excessive CPU or memory resources, leading to system performance degradation.
MySQL Connection Issues
Hitting the maximum number of connections or connection timeouts due to poor connection pool management or high concurrency.
MySQL Lock Contention
Queries getting stuck due to high contention for row or table-level locks, causing delays or timeouts.
MySQL Slow Queries
Queries taking much longer than expected, especially under load or during complex operations like joins or large scans.
