Hi,

One of my clients has an error message with elevateDB :

Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the catalog AF_MOREAU_D (the character set does not match the character set in use by the engine)

How can I resolve this error ?

Thanks for your help

I'd email Tim direct. My only solution would be to restore from backup to a known good point.

Is the database encrypted?

Josselin,

I have solved this problem in any moment deleting file EDBDatabase.EDBCat and renaming EDBDatabase.EDBCat.old to EDBDatabase.EDBCat. Of course make before a copy of file.

Try it.

Bruno,

Did they get this with their application, or with the EDB Manager ?  Also,
were there any changes to the database structure recently ?

This type of error indicates that the database catalog is using Unicode and
the application is using ANSI, or vice-versa.  If that's not the case, then
the database catalog could be seriously corrupted, in which case you'll need
to restore the .old version of the database catalog.  However, before doing
so, please email me the edbdatabase.edbcat and edbdatabase.edbcat.old files
along with their original file dates/times in the text of the email.

BTW, as Roy indicated - if you get this type of error it is best to send an
email directly to support instead of posting something here.  You'll get a
faster response.

Thanks,

This message appears with the application and the EDB Manager.

All of the application is using Unicode.

I do not have the file ".old", my client delete it

Well, as I said, if you email me the catalog file (.edbcat), I can take a
look and see if I can fix it for you.
