How to stop google cloud sql from corrupting database tables

Question

Today I noticed my wordpress website one GAE-php has no more posts and the logs claim

WordPress database error Table './dbname/wp_posts' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

Some time before that I saw errors in log relating to "duplicate keys", but I can't seem to be able to find exact errors now through log viewer.

• Why are this errors occurring on Google Cloud SQL,
• how can I stop them from happening and,
• is there another option to store this data in a way that will not corrupt tables?

Answer 1

.MYI files indicate to me that you're using MyISAM. Cloud SQL strongly recommends you use InnoDB . Try changing your tables to use InnoDB instead, which the previous link also describes how to do.
