Data lost |

Francisco Fernandez | Hi.
I have a customer that after some net problems have been lost all data of some tables of database. No corrupt, the table appears totally empty. Is it possible? Thank you |

The only way I can think of for that to happen is the data portion of the tables (ie edbtbl etc) to be deleted. With the metadata now in a catalog that would give the empty file look. I haven't seen anything in ElevateDB doing this. If they've had network problems it could be someone or something has just deleted the flies, but I doubt its ElevateDB. Roy Lambert [Team Elevate] |

<< I have a customer that after some net problems have been lost all data of some tables of database. No corrupt, the table appears totally empty. Is it possible? >> No, not from ElevateDB. If ElevateDB experiences real corruption, the tables won't be empty, they'll report all sorts of errors and ElevateDB won't touch them any further. Did you check the table files (.edbtbl) on disk to see if they were < 32k ? If they aren't, then the data is still there. If they are, then someone deleted the table files and ElevateDB re-created them as empty when you tried to open them in your application. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Tables are 1 Kb, I think that the files was deleted by system but I don't know how. Is very strange. Thank you |

<Tables are 1 Kb, I think that the files was deleted by system but I don't know how. Is very strange.> A possible cause: Curious user attempts to open *.EDBTbl files. O.S. ask him how to open and ... the user chooses notepad or something worst. Opens it, saves it and result is files are truncated. Tiago |

Francisco Fernandez | Tiago,
It's possible but I don't think it because it was happend in several tables all opened by the same unit of the application and before there was network problems. |
