 * This error occured after attempting to use the MEDIA TEMPLE WordPress Hosting/
   Developer Tools / Staging Site / SYNC SITES
 * A staging site feature of their hosting environment essentially failed. Right
   under the sync site button is 30 days of backups by date… of the active site 
   only, not the staging site… no indication otherwise. At any rate we are in a 
   horrible position of having a missing site that they won´t provide support in
   recovering (they essentially told us to start over). However, when we check the
   database the fields seem to be their for all site pages/posts.
 * When attempting to view site or WP Admin at:
    [http://710.bb9.mwp.accessdomain.com/](http://710.bb9.mwp.accessdomain.com/)
 * this message displays.
    “Error establishing a database connection”
 * When viewing the table for options in MyPHP Admin it says:
    Error SQL query: 
   Edit
 * SHOW INDEX FROM `wp_TABLE_options` ;
    MySQL said: Documentation #130 – Incorrect
   file format ‘wp_TABLE_options’
 * We exported the table (5mb), imported it into a new wordpress install and migrated
   all site files via FTP following instructions for linking table prefix.Wordpress
   prompts came up and and it attempted to repair the database, no luck. When looking
   at import of old database into MYPHP admin, the options table isnt there at all.
 * Is it possible to add a new Options table?
 * Is it possible to export all tables into a new db with working options table?
 * Basically, what is best solution… thanks in advance for any help provided.
