ERROR upgrading database (cant create some of thetables) while upgrading to WP 2.3

[d_wolf]

I recently upgraded to from WP 2.1.3 to WP 2.3.3
just after the WP installation finished upgrading the DB it showed lots of those error massages several times:

WordPress database error: [Table 'mydb_db.wp_terms' doesn't exist]
WordPress database error: [Table 'mydb_db.wp_term_taxonomy' doesn't
exist]
WordPress database error: [Table 'mydb_db.wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]

heres two full error massages for example:

'WordPress database error: [Table 'mydb_db.wp_terms' doesn't exist]
SELECT term_id, term_group FROM wp_terms WHERE slug = 'articles'

WordPress database error: [Table 'mydb_db.wp_terms' doesn't exist]
INSERT INTO wp_terms (term_id, name, slug, term_group) VALUES ('2',
'articles', 'articles', '0'

..and so on with every category I had

after the whole installation finished I went to the blog and found out that the categories and the links simply disappeared and can be reproduced any any way.
every time i try to create a category - nothing happens!

I try to reinstall but the problem stays

d_wolf, this is likely caused by the memory limit being 8MB for your host, see #5165 and #3141.
