Innodb doesn't suffer from corruption issues nearly as often as myisam tables, and it is able to recover on its own in many cases (crash recovery.) In my experience, if innodb does get corrupted, it's most often because of hardware problems. You could consider using it instead.

Good day MySQL! I had a table that crashed last night. There is a cron function that goes out every 6 hours or so, that does a quick table backup (it's also replicated, it's just something that we have running now). ANYWAY, I think it crashed early in the evening, but when the backup ran, it looks like it marked it as crashed finally (which was about 4 hours later). The table was able to be read up until then, but it looks like it wasn't able to be written too. What I want to know is, is there a quick and easy way to maybe every few hours, check to see if there are any crashed tables or whatnot? This is only the 2nd time in the last 1 1/2 years. the table that crashed, is a table that gets created every month, and is about 5gig in size at the end of the month (it has a lot of records/fields in it which is why i create a new one every month). I could write a quick routine that goes and 'shows' the tables, and if it fails, then repair it (or report it back to me via email or something). Any ideas on a way to automate something that is efficient and quick?
