 * I’m not sure where to start looking to diagnose the following errors in WP3.5
   w/ multisite on, and BuddyPress too:
 * WordPress database 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‘
   WHERE blog_id = 1 AND meta_key = ‘last_activity” at line 1 for query SELECT *
   FROM WHERE blog_id = 1 AND meta_key = ‘last_activity’ made by require_once(‘wp-
   load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘
   init’), call_user_func_array, wpms_init, wp_publish_post, wp_update_post, wp_insert_post,
   do_action(‘save_post’), call_user_func_array, bp_blogs_record_post, bp_blogs_update_blogmeta
 * Similar errors are cropping up with every ‘publish’ activity on the site, including
   comments, etc.
 * I haven’t found any similar examples, has anyone seen this before?

   if it clears up.
