Hi, Jesus. Usually regular operations failed due to database
corruption, not vice versa. First thought - your database size
had overgrown limit for single file - 2Gb for most OS and IB versions.
Just now can recommend only standard way of repairing with gfix and
gbak. Don't forget make copy before any such actions. For future -
avoid any actions that can lead to corruption. Useful link about
repair: http://www.ibphoenix.com/ibp_db_corr.html (and Operations
Guide, of course). Ask more if need.
