Error: 1033 Table 'db' was created with a different version and cannot be read

I've been running Zen-Cart 1.38 for a few months, and the security update. Everything has been going awesome, but tonight I got the following error:

1033 Table './zc1/zen_db_cache' was created with a different version of MySQL and cannot be read
in:
[db_cache table]
Where's the panic smiley?
I'm guessing it has something to do with my hosting company? I haven't done anything since the security update.
Thank you very much everyone.

You'll likely need to talk to your hosting company about it. It's unusual for that to suddenly pop up like that, and suggests possibly a server problem.

The simplest resolution would be to drop the table and recreate it. But, if the root cause is that there is damage to several tables, your hosting company should be checking into things.

I was thinking this was the case. I have contacted my hosting company. Thanks! We'll see how this goes.
