Optimize Wordpress Tables with Fix Database Plugin

I've been seeing an unusual number of spam comments awaiting moderation lately.  Normally, Akismet does a great job keeping them out of the moderation queue.  The ones that do make it to the queue, I usually let expire automatically.  This new crop, I decided to delete manually.  When I did, I got this error:

Unknown column 'pingback_views' in 'field list' on line: 532

A quick websearch -- with few results, which is why I am leaving this crumb -- hinted that my Wordpress database tables needed optimizing.

I don't run phpAdmin on my servers so that solution was out, and even with the MySQL Query Browser, figuring out the target table was proving to be a pain.  So another quick search turned up Slapyo's Database Fix WP plugin.  This solution fixed my problem perfectly.
