DBISAM Error 12036

Mon, Aug 26 2013 7:58 AM	Permanent Link
Danie van Eeden	Hi, I have a client where a backup was made of the data, the server OS reloaded and the data copied back onto the server. We are now getting the following error on most tables DBISAM Engine Error # 12036 The table or backup file <Name> is not valid Is there anything I can do myself to rectify this? I noticed this is a signature generated by the engine itself and is then compared on next access to the file. Kind Regards Danie van Eeden

This type of error indicates that the engine signature used to create the DBISAM table files does not match that being used by the accessing application or DBISAM Database Server.

Danie van Eeden	Hi Tim, this application still access the tables directory (file 'server' method?). There is no DBISAM Database Server running as a separate process. The only changes that I am aware of are: 1. Backup of data folder 2. Format and reload. 3. Reinstall of application (our application). Possibly a newer version - but still on DBISAM 4. 4. Placement of data in data folder. Thanks

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate	Danie You haven't quoted the actual tablename so is it possible that its a temporary table and the application doesn't have full access to the temporary directory (PrivateDir). Roy Lambert [Team Elevate]
