[FIXED] Can't view table in phpmyadmin

Issue

When using phpmyadmin I can't display the table wp_postmeta.

No matter if I click on the table on the sidebar or do a manual query, phpmyadmin automatically adds inner join `wp_posts` onpost_id=`wp_posts`.id and returns the following error:

1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'inner joinwp_posts onpost_id=wp_posts.id
LIMIT 0, 25' at line 1

It only does this on this specific table.

How do I prevent phpmyadmin from doing this and where could it came from?

Solution

Mysql is a php application and as every application may have some problems or bugs, which query you have tested to retrieve the data? this?

SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta

Maybe your wp_postmeta table is corrupted, you can try to fix it with phpmyadmin function, but before doing this be sure to do a full database backup
