out of interest -
Does this mean you can not make any connections to the database at this
time?
Have you physically moved the gdb file at some stage?
Have you being doing regular backups and restores over this last year?

Subject: [ib-support] WRONG PAGE TYPE IB6 ODS10



I have a clients database that has become corrupted.
It is an ODS 10 IB 6 database that was upgraded from an IB 5.6
database about a year ago.
I have tried all the things listed on the various IB sites and
newsgroups I know about.
I am getting the following error when trying to run gbak form the
command line:

C:\TEMP\AYSCOUGH>gbak -backup -v -ignore -garbage -limbo
corupttimes.gdb corupttimes.gbk
gbak: ERROR: database file appears corrupt ()
gbak: ERROR: wrong page type
gbak: ERROR: page 252690 is of wrong type (expected 3, found 5)
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors

This I guess is telling me that the specified page is meant to be a
TIP page but it is reporting it as a Data page

Previous to this I have tried the following:

>gfix -v -full corupttimes.gdb

Summary of validation errors
Number of record level errors : 1
Number of transaction page errors : 2
Number of database page errors : 2

>gfix -mend -full -ignore corupttimes.gdb

Summary of validation errors
Number of record level errors : 1
Number of transaction page errors : 2
Number of database page errors : 2

>gfix -v -full corupttimes.gdb

Summary of validation errors
Number of record level errors : 1
Number of transaction page errors : 2
Number of database page errors : 2

If I can get gbak to attach to the database I then plan to back up
the metadata and create a new database file and then pump the data
into it.
Does anyone know what else I can try to attach to the database.
