Thread DBISAM Engine Error # 12036 The table or backup file <Name> is not valid
Thu, Jun 24 2010 10:45 AMPermanent Link

Ulrik Nielsen

Hello,
I got problems with a specific database. I keep getting the following error:
DBISAM Engine Error # 12036 The table or backup file <Name> is not valid

It is not possible to verify or repair the table. The datebase is attached.
Can you see what is wrong?

Thank you in advance

The signature in the files is not valid, which usually indicates that
someone/something altered the table using a different engine signature.

I've fixed the table, but I'll need you to email me privately, and I'll
reply with the fixed table.

I need your customer information, which I'm waiting on via email.  We can't
repair tables for non-customers or anyone that we haven't been able to
verify as the actual owner of the data.

In dbisam 4.x, is there a way I can detect programatically if the above i a problem? (Before I start doing db ops against the table ....).

Thx!

The only way is to handle it via an exception block around the table open,
or via a global Application OnException event handler.

As for doing operations against the table, you won't be able to do anything
if the open fails, so that's a good place to trap this type of issue.
