 * i did this last night: [http://wordpress.org/support/3/11150](http://wordpress.org/support/3/11150#post-5).
   
   afterwards, everything was fine for several hours. i continued making changes
   to some static pages on another part of the site. when i checked the site this
   morning, i got an error that the wp_posts table was missing. the static pages
   that i changed were fine, in the sense that they had the changes made after i
   working on the database file. also, the test table that i uploaded was still 
   up. is there a reason why a table would get dropped like that?

 * I would guess that the server rebooted overnight and reverted to an earlier state
   causing a data loss. Just my 2c.

 * i asked my host about it, and the response was “we don’t know why this happened…
   better keep a back up”.
