<div>I have no idea how to run the query through the linux shell or any front-end interface (it would be PHPAdmin). Yes, it is MySQL.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll see if I can see the end of the logs and see if it's more specific.</div>

<div>have you tried running the query through a linux shell (if you have ssh access) or through a front-end interface for your mysql (if that's what you use)? it will probably be more descriptive as to what your error is. also check your error logs. you can check them through drupal or if you have ssh access you can check them through that with a command like:
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
<div>
