Wordpress Database importing giving strange error - mysql

Question

I exported the database of a Wordpress. So far so good. But when i tried to import it through PHPMyAdmin from a cPanel i started receiving the following error:
INSERT INTO wp_commentmeta VALUES (
"1", "1", "_wp_trash_meta_status", "1" );
MySQL said: Documentation
1030 - Got error -1 from storage engine
I tried changing the browser, the host, exporting the database through different modules. Nothing worked.
I also tried fixing the database using the 'repair' function available in the cPanel but it didn't worked as i got this in response:
[projamz1_pds.wp_commentmeta] note: The storage engine for the table
doesn't support repair [projamz1_pds.wp_comments] note: The storage
engine for the table doesn't support repair

The code that i suppose is the core of the problem is:
INSERT INTO wp_commentmeta (meta_id, comment_id, meta_key,
meta_value) VALUES (1, 1, '_wp_trash_meta_status', '1'), (2, 1,
'_wp_trash_meta_time', '1425058099'), (3, 18, '_wp_trash_meta_status',

'_wp_trash_meta_status', '1'), (64, 16, '_wp_trash_meta_time',
'1425058104');
Tho' i did not wanted to delete it and import like that because i am afraid i will break something.
Any suggestions?
LE: I tried importing without the part i suspected being the problem. Without success. Still the same error - #1030 - Got error -1 from storage engine . But now i got 2 tables imported instead of one. Still cannot figure out the problem. As the wordpress is working without any kind of problem. I think something happens when i try to export the database.
Cheers

Some cheap and nasty shared hosting providers don't support all the MySQL access methods.
Try this: For each table find the part of the SQL file generated by your export that looks like this, for example.
CREATE TABLE `wp_options` (
`option_id` BIGINT(20) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`option_name` VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`option_value` LONGTEXT NOT NULL,
`autoload` VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'yes',
PRIMARY KEY (`option_id`),
UNIQUE INDEX `option_name` (`option_name`)
)
COLLATE='utf8_general_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB
;
Delete the line saying ENGINE=something, and retry your import. That will allow the MySQL server to use whatever ENGINE it has available.
