Description:
I noticed that two of my tables inside my wikipedia install had the "in use" tag on them in phpMyAdmin - a quick search tells me that this is due to corrupt data and this could have been the reason for me being unable to upgrade mediawiki as the upgrade process always stopped at the following tables.

The two following tables are corrupt beyond repair:

pinkptc_neodex.neodex_cur
Error : Incorrect key file for table 'neodex_cur'; try to repair it
error : Corrupt

pinkptc_neodex.neodex_oldimage
Error : Incorrect key file for table 'neodex_oldimage'; try to repair it
error : Corrupt

I tried to run repair on these tables via numerous methods but all were unsuccessful. I asked my host for help and they ran into the same issues. Their suggestion was: Basically you would need to either create those from scratch.

What are my options?
