Database error – where are the database files?

    Sorry in advance if this is not the right place for this question.

    My wife has a blog, and I am trying to resolve a problem she is having with it. I know very little about the WordPress application and associated files – I just write software at my day job.

    She is getting a database error message when she tries to access comments at her site:

    WordPress database error: [Table ‘./redinked/wp_comments’ is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed]
    SELECT * FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_post_ID = ‘173’ AND comment_approved = ‘1’ ORDER BY comment_date

    Our suspicion is she has exceeded some limit on her account – too much undeleted spam or something.

    My question is how do we clean the database? Can I access the actual file and do a manual cleaning on it?

    Any help would be appreciated.
