Hello Group,

I have a server running Firebird 2.5.0 in Classic mode on Windows.

There is a database that appears corrupted (internal Firebird consistency check ...).

I have got all users out and renamed the file and attempted:
gfix -v localhost:C:\data\corrupt.fdb -user sysdba -password masterke

It is failing with the following message:

bad parameters on attach or create database
-secondary server attachments cannot validate databases

Using Process Explorer, I can see that there are no other processes with a handle to this file. (It is also renamed, and the clients are pointing at the alias which doesn't presently exist)

I suspect that whatever the corruption is, it is confusing gfix into believing that there are other active connections. Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Adam
