 * Hello,
 * I updated my wordpress to 3.1.2 with the wordpress automatic upgrade. After that
   I cant activate Plugins anymore… I always get the error:
 * You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your
   MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘TYPE=MyISAM’ at line 9
   on line: 1471
 * I am not good with MySql at all, what can I do to fix this?

 * Try repairing your database.

 * I am having the same issue and also don’t know much about MySql. I have tried
   repairing the database but it is still not working.

 * Ditto. I am getting the same message. I get this message when I activate a plugin.
   The plugin does activate, however. I go back in the browser, reload the plug-
   ins page, and it’s there, active.
 * Repairing my database doesn’t help.
 * Tried dropping the database and starting from scratch. It seemed like I didn’t
   get the error until I activated the wordpress.com stats plugin, but after doing
   that, the error persisted on all plugins, even after I deactivated the stats 
   plugin.
 * Note, I am running this site in a local developing environment using MAMP.

 * Correction: It is connected to the WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plug-in
 * As soon as I Deactivate this plug-in, the problem (for me, as I described it)
   disappears. All plug-ins deactivate and activate normally

 * Solution For Error =
