I suffered a similar problem with MySQL very recently. During a routine adding of new records to our database and updating old records, my computer (Windows XP) crashed and seemed to have left some of the index tables in disarray.

After that reading of some records failed for no obvious reason with a so<mewhat helpful error message ("[ERROR] C:\data\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld: Incorrect key file for table '.\pandirecords\claims.MYI'; try to repair it"). Running the full check and repair suite fixed it in less than an hour (in total about 600,000 records in that database).

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
