Database problem with thread?

[FatBaldGuy]

I’m getting some strange stuff when I try to open this thread about products that only stupid people would buy.

If I click on the “read first unread” button, I get a SQL debugging error. If I click on the link for page 2 I get header and footer with no posts.

If I click on either the thread title or the page 1 link, I get the first part of the thread, but according to the forum page there should be 69 replies, and only posts through #45 are visible.

Methinks there be some corruption in the database.

ETA: This is the error I get when I try to link to the first unread post.

Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in /includes/db_mysql.php on line 212

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Straight Dope Message Board database.

seems to be fixed. At least, I don’t have the problem you mentioned.

Jerry had it down for a while last night, judging by the “the boards are temporarily down so I can fix some database corruption” message that was up when I checked in at 11-ish pm CST.
