How It Affects Your App
The error ER_TABLE_NEEDS_REBUILD indicates that the table structure is corrupted and needs to be rebuilt. This can have a significant impact on the application as it may cause data loss or data inconsistency. It can also lead to performance issues as the application may not be able to access the data in the table. Additionally, the application may not be able to perform certain operations on the table until it is rebuilt.
How To Fix
1. Check the error log for the MySQL 1707 error:
$ tail -f /var/log/mysql/error.log
2. Check the MySQL configuration file for any misconfigurations:
$ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf
3. Check the MySQL process list to see if any processes are running that could be causing the error:
$ mysqladmin -u root -p processlist
4. Check the MySQL user table to see if any users have been created that could be causing the error:
$ mysql -u root -p -e "SELECT * FROM mysql.user;"
5. Check the MySQL grant tables to see if any privileges have been granted that could be causing the error:
$ mysql -u root -p -e "SELECT * FROM mysql.db;"
6. If the error persists, restart the MySQL server:
$ service mysql restart
