For a MySQL database administrator, a database corruption error might sound as if the disaster has occurred. The administrator rattles off typical suspects and applies all his knowledge and experience to overcome the disaster. However, in most cases, the corruption remains inescapable and the result is - database unmountability or strange behaviour of database. In such situations, a complete online backup acts as a boon and allows the administrator to mount and access the database objects. But, the disastrous situation might continue if the administrator has not maintained any backup or the backup file gets corrupted. For such situations, it is advisable to opt for a third-party MySQL database recovery application that provides complete repair of corrupted database.
Some common error messages that help a database administrator to identify that his database is corrupted are listed below

Resolution:

In case the above steps fail to repair the database, then the user needs to find a good third-party MySQL recovery application.
