After a few days away from the site, it was working fine last time I checked, I try to log in as admin and get this

PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 145 Table './playcbg_drupal/watchdog' is marked as crashed and should be repaired: INSERT INTO {watchdog} (uid, type, message, variables, severity, link, location, referer, hostname, timestamp) VALUES (:db_insert_placeholder_0, :db_insert_placeholder_1, :db_insert_placeholder_2, :db_insert_placeholder_3, :db_insert_placeholder_4, :db_insert_placeholder_5, :db_insert_placeholder_6, :db_insert_placeholder_7, :db_insert_placeholder_8, :db_insert_placeholder_9); Array ( [:db_insert_placeholder_0] => 1 [:db_insert_placeholder_1] => user [:db_insert_placeholder_2] => Session opened for %name.

I have a test user account on another browser that has remained logged in and it appears to work OK.

The site is relatively new and I don't have a backup of the database.

I have access to phpmyadmin but am not confident enough with SQL to attempt a DB repair without some expert guidance.

with phpmyadmin

backup the database
empty the watchdog table or use the repair table command in the select list

test

Thanks VM, that was painless.

The solution works great. I am a not an expert. I truncated the watchdog table and the issue was solved.

Thanks again.
