5041.0. "NODBK error with Rdb 7" by M5::GHODSON () Tue Feb 18 1997 15:41

Hi:

I have a customer on Rdb 7 with a table containing one record.  Something 
happened so that now he can do:
 
SQL> attach 'filename scp_rdb7_db'; 
SQL> select * from HIGH_WATER_TABLE; 
%RDB-E-NO_RECORD, access by dbkey failed because dbkey is no longer associated 
with a record 
-RDMS-F-NODBK, 228:30:0 does not point to a data record 
SQL> select count(*) from HIGH_WATER_TABLE; 
 
           1 
1 row selected 

Since we don't know what happened to cause this and he has not tried to 
reproduce the problem, we don't have a lot to go on...

But based on the following info, does this look like some issue that has been 
seen with Rdb 7?

Thanks for any input.
Gary Hodson

It looks like the page is corrupted.  The record segment header is trash which
will make the data retrieval impossible.

Do you have the AIJ files from when the row was updated?

Gary, if the guy has a rubber chicken handy I'd suggest waving it over
the machine NOW!  Unfortunately it won't cure this sick page.  If he
happens to have a backup and aij he might be able to just restore/roll
the page.  The problem might be knowing how far back to go to get clean
results.

If he doesn't have aij and it's critical (I know, the two words don't go
together) than with a po and the right amount of $$ you could probably
find someone on our team who could patch the page.  It would be useful
if he at least had a backup of this page that looked "reasonable".

    Thanks Ian and Liz.  The customer ended up truncating the area which
    released the page with the bad pointers...  This was a test database
    so he did not have aij enabled.  He is going to try an come up with
    a script that reproduces this and let me know.
