ElevateDB Error #100 There is an error in the metadata for the table
IGNUserLog (A write operation did not complete and a repair is required).

This happened using the local database engine.  Why would metadata get
corrputed anyway?  I thought the metadata was stored in the catalog file?
What is the metadata that it is refering to?  The repair did fix the
problem.

Looking at the log, the below error occurred first (just prior to the above
error):

#601  The table IGNUserLog is corrupt (Attempted to flush a index page from
the cache while it is in use)

What would I have done to flush an index page?

It's the internal table metadata (version info, signature, etc.), not the
metadata that you normally think of.  It simply means that EDB detected that
a write operation didn't complete.

You wouldn't have done anything, this is an internal error.  What was the
Function for this error message in the log ?   It should be the second
column in the log record.

Update Row

Was only one process or thread accessing the data, or were you running the
application in the IDE at all ?

There were probably 2 or 3 instances of the program running and accessing
the data.  Don't think I was running from the IDE at the time.

Were any of the application instances terminated with a reset in the task
manager ?

I don't believe so, but I cannot be certain.

Okay.  At this point I just have to say to keep an eye on things and let me
know if you see anything similar again.  We don't have any other reports of
any similar issues, so I don't have anything to what you saw.
