It's odd that you can't even connect to the database at all, :-/ phpMyAdmin closes when trying to access that db and asks for a login. I'll try to finagle things the old band-aid way and try to recreate the damned thing... maybe, if I delete it all (backups, of course) and the create a new db with same name & then repopulate it with the existing files... who knows...
