Repairing a MySQL Database in cPanel Flash Tutorial

Databases are the backbone of advanced websites. The data they can contain often holds the organisation's client base, and in the case of websites, often the content of the site as well.

In addition to making regular backups, clients have access to a repair tool should one of their databases become corrupt. The MySQL repair function will (in most cases) be able to recover the data from an otherwise corrupted MyISAM format database.

In the unlikely event of one of your databases becoming corrupt for any reason, running this tool can rescue your data, but you should also investigate the possible reasons in your code that may have caused the disruption in the first place.

The following flash tutorial guides you through repairing a MySQL database in cPanel control panel.
