I had similar error and tried your method but get error that table already exists. mysql> show create table wp_63_posts; ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'comwordpress.wp_63_posts' doesn't exist mysql> create table wp_63_posts(i int) engine=innodb; ERROR 1050 (42S01): Table 'wp_63_posts' already exists So 'show create table' says table doesn't exist. But 'create table' says it already exists. I'm confused ??? I have MySQL 5.0.27 server. I had similar error and tried your method but get error that table already exists.

mysql> show create table wp_63_posts;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table ‘comwordpress.wp_63_posts’ doesn’t exist
mysql> create table wp_63_posts(i int) engine=innodb;
ERROR 1050 (42S01): Table ‘wp_63_posts’ already exists

So ’show create table’ says table doesn’t exist. But ‘create table’ says it already exists.
I’m confused ???

I tried using the process you described above, but the "show create table" gives a "Lost connection to MySQL..." and subsequently reboots MySQL! Is this something that only works on 5.1+? Thank you! Peter,
