First, read the error message. Turn on $wgShowSQLErrors for more info.
(check DefaultSettings.php for all configurable settings.)

http://dev.mysql.com/

Please don't forget to use the 'perror' utility to look up MySQL error
numbers. Usually it boils down to "Table marked as crashed" and you
should run 'REPAIR TABLE <tablename>;'

No official documentation.
