We are using IB 5.5 on an NT Server, which crashed on Sunday morning.
The following errors were found in the Interbase log file. Could someone
please
shed some light on what happened to our database? I cannot find any
references
on these error messages anywhere.

PLAS-CIMLINK (Server) Sun Sep 26 03:53:42 1999
Database: D:\SSWIN\DATA\SSWIN.GDB
internal gds software consistency check (error during savepoint backout
(290))

PLAS-CIMLINK (Server) Sun Sep 26 03:53:43 1999
INET/inet_error: read errno = 10054

PLAS-CIMLINK (Server) Sun Sep 26 03:53:44 1999
Database: D:\SSWIN\DATA\SSWIN.GDB
internal gds software consistency check (cannot find record fragment
(248))

PLAS-CIMLINK (Server) Sun Sep 26 03:53:48 1999
Database: D:\SSWIN\DATA\SSWIN.GDB
internal gds software consistency check (cannot find record back
version (291))

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Tracy,

in most cases consistency errors in a database accour if you update the
database structure (create/alter tables or indexes) while secondary
attachments are active. Or when your server crashes.

To fix the database go to Interbase Server Manager and perform the follwing
steps:

- connect to database
- shotdown to single user mode
- Validate database with option [x] Ignore Checksum and [x] Validate Record
fragments turned on
- backup database (with Interbase) with option "Disable Garbage collection"
and "Ignore Checksum" turned on
- rename your origin database file
- restore the backup to origin file.

The database should be free of errors now.

My main concern isn't getting the database back online. My concern is that we
have been running Ib5.5 for two weeks without problems and all of a sudden it
crashes. I need to know that it is not going to happen again, or I need to
figure out what is causing it and prevent it from happening again. I can pretty
much guarantee that nobody was updating the database structure at 3 am on Sunday
when the crash occurred.

Disable sweeping. There is a well known sweep bug of IB 5.x witch corrupts
databases.
