Lost Data from File |
Mon, Mar 13 2006 2:46 PM | Permanent Link |
Gordon Turner | I have received two different calls about a customer losing entries that
they have created on a previous day in my application. The app itself uses 13 different tables, and the data is only lost from one. Here are the specifics (at least for one instance) - D7, DBISam 3.24 for the app. Workstation - XP Pro SP2 - data files located on a W2K server using MS networking. In the data module, I use a common event handler for the AfterDelete, AfterInsert, and AfterPost that executes the following: procedure TDataMod.BufferFlush(DataSet: TDataSet); begin if not fSkipBufferFlush then (DataSet as TDBISAMTable).FlushBuffers; end; The fSkipBufferFlush is a flag I use to avoid the flush when I'm performing a data import function. Files are all opened in Shared mode (it's a multi-user application), but in both cases, the user was the only person working in the app at the time of the data loss. I examined the file for one customer and it did not show any signs of corruption (no change in the number of records when I ran the repair utility). The file in question would not have more than 2000 entries - if that many. Is there anything in any of this that could account for lost data? Not just a single record or two, but a whole data entry session worth of data. Gordon Turner |
