MySQL database table “in use” problem

  • MySQL table collation suddenly changed to “in use”
  • Unable to login, registration, reset password

Backup database.

Error occurs when you set the connection collation to anything other then the current server collation.

So

  • Repair database (repairing database will fix the “in use” issue)
  • Then change the collation to same everywhere.
  • You may also check the collation in the config file.

That’s all!
