mySQL database table disappears but leaves reference in PHPmyAdmin navigation panel

[Neil Dempster]

I have been having an ongoing battle with Go Daddy regarding tables disappearing from a database but still leaving the reference to the table in the PHPmyAdmin navigation panel (Note: The table was not deleted by me.). If I click the hyperlink for the table, I receive an error: #1146 – Table ‘cps_db_sa.bdls’ doesn’t exist. This happened two months ago and because I felt the database must've been corrupted in some way I rebuilt a brand-new database from scratch (NOT using a backup restore). It has been running smoothly for two months but this morning the same thing happened although it was a different table that disappeared. Because this is a development database no other user has access; I have not created any 'write' queries as of yet (e.g., INSERT) so the only queries are fetch (e.g., SELECT). We are also on a shared hosting platform.

Go Daddy is telling me it must be something I'm doing but because this database was running smoothly for many weeks and the fact that I was not even in the database yesterday, it seems odd to now have a table just disappear like this. Have any of you experienced this phenomenon? Thank you for any input you can provide.
