I went to my site and got a MySQL error. So I went to the database to see what was going on. I looked at the status of the server and see it was restarted on Sep 18, 2011 at 05:35 AM. The tables are intact but attempting a query using phpMyAdmin on some of the tables results in the error message, #1286 - Unknown table engine 'InnoDBÑ' (copied from the error message displayed by phpMyAdmin). So it seems that some corruption occurred during the restart. The database was fine before the restart.
I am guessing that I am going to have to delete this database and recreate it. I should really have done a backup. Can I correct this error without having to delete the database?
What could have caused the corruption during restart?

Another post seems to think that InnoDB has been disabled; whether by design or mistake will just have to wait for admins to tell us. It is my understanding that InnoDB is more efficient which means less of a load on the server.
