 * Hi, everything on my blog has been working perfectly for months now, but all 
   of a sudden, when I came home and looked at my blog today, it was all messed 
   up and had this error:
    SQL/DB Error: [Got error -1 from table handler] SELECT
   DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND post_date <= ‘2004-04-27 22:06:43’ AND(
   post_status = “publish”) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 4
   I found a topic similar to this, in which the person said that the hosting company
   restarted the server, but when I asked my hosting company about it, they said
   they didn’t understand and couldn’t help me because it was a 3rd party issue.
   Could you please tell me what the problem is? And also, could you tell me how
   to fix this?
