I can find out. But our s/w is a lamp stack. The hosting company will give full access but they aren't dba'.

They said they are flat files.....and maybe marked Red?

Alright, you don't want me then. They are likely MySQL or something similar. And while I'm pretty good with MySQL, I'm not the guy you'd want for that.

Yeap...linux, apache, mysql, php

Thanks for checking. I haven't gone other places to find one yet but will very soon.

I'm not a DBA, but I have been using MySQL as a database for many projects since 2002. I've never experienced any data corruption, but if I did I would ask the hosting company to try the built in commands for table repair first: https://www.hivelocity.net/kb/how-to...ble-using-ssh/

Hope it helps!
