Corrupted Database in Lightroom 3 Beta

Can anyone offer any help how to recover from a "corrupted
database" error on startup? It gives an option to repair, but it is unsuccessful. I was one who disregarded al the warnings about not using the beta for production, but I liked it so much that I just completed a huge wedding. Luckily, all my chosen files were exported as Jpegs but I have lost many, many hours of work. I also have LR2 which I had always used previously.

Try your catalog back up file, just click to open the most recent and hopefully that will work and as long as you made regular back ups you should be OK. If all else fails import the files into a new catalog using the Beta and then update the files from the metadata (this will obviously only work if you save out the metadata. You can also do the same with LR 2 although if you used the new process version in LR 3 this will be lost.
Using a Beat for production work is not a good idea, but at least if you backed up catalogs and wrote data out as xmp side car or directly to file if you converted to DNG you can always recover. If you did none of these things and used a Beta then you really are in trouble!

Corrupted Database Problem

Greetings,
I'm getting the following error running the base system installer:
root@archiso ~ # pacstrap -i /mnt base
==> Creating install root at /mnt
==> Installing packages to /mnt
error: GPGME error: No data
:: Synchronizing package databases..
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
error: database 'extra' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))
==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
I've already tried updating the keyring:
pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux
As well as changing around the mirrors in my mirrorlist and re-syncing with:
pacman -Syy
Running out of ideas and been scowering Google for an hour now with no result. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

System time is fine.
Also tried deleting the extra DB file, same error persists.

Any new fixes for corrupt images in Lightroom 4.4?

I have seen many threads on this and tried a lot of the tings people say to try. But I do get corrupt images in Lightroom. I currently have an AMD FX-8150, 32GB ram, 2 SSD Raid0 + USB3.0 drives as backup.
Drive and Memory:
Note, I only keep up to the last 3 shoots on my SSD, the rest are stored on my USB3 drives. Any time I import files to the USB drive I get no corruption. Now that would imply that I have bad drives, I have run diskcheck and contacted Muskin and they had me run some disk checks, speed tests, +other things and identified that the drives are running fine with no issues and this has to be a software issue.
I have run memtest86+ with no errors, also ran memtest86+ with my memory in another machine with no errors.
To rule out the card reader:
When I just copy files from my CF Card to a folder using explorer all images import fine and you can even open every image in photoshop with no issues. As soon as you add those files already copied to the HD to lightroom, they start to corrupt. I just recently used the windows explorer method and added ~400 images to lightroom, all images imported fine, when I later accessed lightroom(Today), about 10% of those images are not corrupt.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it be because I use Raid0? Or even SSD drives?
This is quite annoying and I would like to get things fixed.

Usually when Lr renames the photos as you saw kianjillwedding-19, Lr changed the name from IMG_1968. Thats may have something to do with the corruption.
I don't see how. Renaming shouldn't change anything on disk except, well, the name - and of course update a bunch of things in the catalog.

I will get back to you if the problem continues but everything still seems to be fine in Lr5, even after letting Lr rename all the photos with my current(today's) import of 700 images.
OK - thanks.

~impossible it's Lr4 software. Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. As I said, Lr4 should never be rewriting those files, and therefore essentially can not corrupt them. I mean, its possible that it got it's brains scrambled, and went ahead and rewrote them, for god-knows why or just for the he|| of it - because some bits seemed to be set wrong..., thus invalidating the assumption that it's not rewriting them. It's just that this scenario is the least likely. I mean, Jeff Schewe has given me spankings more than once before, for even bringing it up, since it's so unlikely...

Although theoretically possible, I'd still venture to guess that's not what happened.

Didn't you also change your disk drive situation around just before you started using Lr5?

Replay logfiles on corrupt database

I've got a machine here that has not been maintained very well. Someone with little knowledge of MaxDB has only kept Windows backups and no database backups. Also, there has been no LOG backups, everytime the log was full, someone just added another one :). Now one of the DATAvolumes is corrupt (it shows 0 kb) and the database won't come up. Everyone here is convinced that it won't come up ever again. Also, on top of all, the Windows backups aren't available anymore either. People feel sorry for it and just move on
So now I've got some spare time and I want to take a closer look at it. I've got a corrupt database, and I've got a lot of LOG volumes (not backups). I'm not a MaxDB guru either, so I've got the following questions:
Isn't it true that if you do not backup the database or the logfiles at all, all the database transactions committed after the installation still reside in the logfile(s)?
With this in mind, couldn't it be possible to install the system just as it was right after the installation, and after that replay the existing logfiles? I've created a copy of the system where I can fool around. I've found lots of ways to recover a database with logbackups, but not with the logfiles itself.
Isn't there anything I can do at all with the existing logfiles, with all the precious data in it? It has been a portal and there are (or were ) a lot of documents in it.
Who can help me out?

>Only thing is that the general idea was to build it again (by installing the system again) and replay all the later on added information (by replaying the existing logfiles).
>I still find it strange that in fact all the data is there ( in the logfiles), but I cannot get to it.
>Or I'm misinterpreting the whole logfile mechanism.
Well - half and half I'd say.
It's true, all changes to the database are logged to the log area.
BUT (yes, a big BUT here), the critical point here is the starting point.
To have all changes correctly applied, the database must be sure that the database is really in the exact state like it was, when the log information starts.
This synchronization is done via the restart_record and the log_info_page.
In theory, if we would be able to generate a completely identical data area as it was, back then, when the history of log information began, then we would be able to recover the data.
Just creating a new database won't do, since the db_create itself is not covered by redologs and ends up with a different data area each time (e.g. for each database a DB-Identifier with the timestamp of its creation is generated and saved).
So, technically the only way I can think of would be to create a empty data area and than hack into the restart_record to fake the MaxDB into a recovery.
If you are a MaxDB kernel developer you might be able to do that...

Lars

Hi,
Your database is corrupted, hence there is no surprise you cannot retrieve successfully from it:
# db_verify -o cf_classes.db.duff
db_verify: Page 4: btree or recno page is of inappropriate type 0
db_verify: Page 4: totally zeroed page
db_verify: Page 4: Btree level incorrect: got 0, expected 1
db_verify: Page 3: unterminated leaf chain
db_verify: cf_classes.db.duff: DB_VERIFY_BAD: Database verification failed
Verification of cf_classes.db.duff failed.
Dumping the database with db_dump -da shows the following where page 4 should have been:
page 0: invalid: LSN [0][0]: level 0
prev: 0 next: 0 entries: 0 offset: 0
and a verification with a hex editor over the 4KB's of page 4, shows that this page is all 0s (zeros).
You need to run recovery over this database. For backup and recovery procedures review the followings:
- chapter 11 in the Berkeley DB Reference Guide, Berkeley DB Transactional Data Store Applications;
- in the Getting Started with Berkeley DB Transaction Processing, the sections on Backup Procedures and Recovery Procedures.
If your application is not using transactions (it is not set up as TDS, Transactional Data Store), you should review the section on Handling failure in Data Store and Concurrent Data Store applications.

Can't Uninstall Lightroom Beta

Lightroom ver 1.0 will not allow me to install it. I get an error stating I must uninstall an earlier version 1st. Problem is when I attempt to uninstall beta 3, it looks for the installation package which has been deleted. The error I get is "a network error occured while attempting to read the file lightroom beta\lightroom_b3_standalone_07-18.msi.
Any help would be appreciated.

Adobe Lightroom Beta...

I have been running the Adobe Lightroom Beta since the beta released. I am wondering about two things:
1. I heard that BETA testers are getting a greater discount than the public rate of $199.00 how do I go about getting this discount? Does anyone know? Also, I have had a problem with is re-exposing my images. There are no defaults set, however as soon as I import and image and click on it is adjust the levels automatically, making the tones more dull and the lighting much darker?? Any input regarding this, I would love to hear....
~Jessica

You can get it at a discount of $169 by using following promo code - Macworld07
It was suppose to expire on 2/19 but it still works.

New mail messages not visible--"detected corrupt database" related?

I am using Mail.app and an iPod Touch with an Exchange server (Intermedia). All of a sudden in the last few days, recent mail on the server is not visible using Mail.app or the iPod Touch. I have deleted the mail accounts on both devices twice and done an entirely fresh download of all mail on both, and the problem persists.
Mail in the Inbox is visible. However, if I move an Inbox message to, say, Archive or Travel, then it becomes invisible--even though it is intact on the server and in its proper location there.
I have also repaired permissions and run sudo daily/weekly/monthly maintenance processes, to no avail.
In the console, I see the following error message. Could this be related and is there a way to fix it?

Update: all messages are viewable in Entourage Exchange Web Services 2008, but not in Apple Mail, or in Mail on my iPod Touch, or after a new download of all mail on another Mac in Mail.app. Why is Entourage able to see all the messages while all the Apple Mail clients are missing them?

Possible Corrupt Database?

I've been synching my Palm Treo 700p, iCal, and Entourage calendars on my MacBookPro, OS 10.4.8, and I think I may have a corrupt database. All the calendars have been set to delete events/meetings more than one year old, and none show any events earlier than one year ago, yet iSync keeps coming up and telling me I have hundreds of synch conflicts (most from 2004 and 2005). Can I delete the database without losing everything currently in my calendars? If so, which database do I delete?
Thanks,
Claude

You cannot delete anything without forcing a corresponding deletion of matching records elsewhere on all of your applications, devices and servers.
Given your brief description, it's likely that Entourage is the culprit. Isolate it from the remainder of your synchronization pool by temporarily disabling its connection to Sync Services, and see if the conflicts disappear. By reconfiguring sync clients, but not deleting sync records, you should be able to determine what is driving this conflict resolution process. Only by temporarily disabling or reconfiguring devices can you isolate the issue and resolve it.

DBF corrupted database

Hey friends, I'm in great trouble here.
I'm using Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 on my Windows 7 machine. I had some DBF files which was created in MS Visual FoxPro. The files were undoubtedly valuable since they contained my crucial data related to my office work. The files are now invalid
therefore, inaccessible. I can't access any of my database files. Whenever I try to open one of them this comes in front of me: "File filename.dbf does not exist".
According to me this must be a file corruption error states the file is corrupted. I don't know how did it get corrupted. I'm dying to get these files back. Please help in this.
Thanks in advance.

It is not necessary to rebuild a corrupt database. All corrupt databases can fixed in less than one minute.
The solution is: Open database to main screen
Copy the database but only one record(just pick a not recent record number at random; include "all", I usually name this database "FixMMDD" (( month Day))
Open original database to mainscreen and append the FIXMMDD.dbf.
You're done.
Occassionally you may have to update indexes. Very rarely are any records lost and when it happens those few records are clearly garbled.
I've been doing this for three years with no problems.
If you have fields that increment you'll have to adjust that for your last valid value.
OTHERWISE
I think those files of your which seem unreadable are corrupt. Just one thing always keep in your mind that corruption can make a file unreadable or useless. And due to this file becomes inaccessible. Any corrupt or damaged file can't be accessed
until it gets fully repaired. All you need just remove the error from your DBF files and after doing this you can access those corrupt files. The data inside those files will be readable right after you repair them. You just need to consider
about a software program or shall I suggest you about a tool which I have used?
Check this one: DBF Repair Kit
It will help you as it helped me. Just try its demo version
http://www.dbf.repair/ to see the preview of the content of the files which are unreadable.

Python + Miro from testing lead to corrupted database

This update today was a killer. Miro just blew up and took all my channel metadata along with it to the tune of 'corrupted database'.
It doesn't work even when I delete the .miro folder from my home. The thing errors out when I try to close it and stays open...
OT: I've had a fair share of problems with Miro so I think it's time to look for something less bloated and less fragile. Any ideas?

Hi Experts,
On one of the servers with Windows Server 2008, we have 5 Oracle 11g databases installed for our dev & testing environments.
With the help of oracle client we are connecting to those server db's.
Last Friday,for one of the db's, I have populated a million records to few tables and everything was fine on that day.
Suddenly on this Monday, one of the front-end users complained that the db was not working. We are not able to connect to that db, but able to connect to one of the other db's on the same server.
Message thrown was :
" ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor "
I connected to server and tried to login from there..the same message was thrown, but able to connect to other db's.
Finally I set the oracle_home path to the db to which i was not able to login and connected using
something like....
conn /as sysdbaidle instance
startup;database mounted
database started
After that i was able to connect to that db as well as all other db's on the server.
My doubt is, why suddenly that stopped working and it didn't work until i use "startup" command ?
Also, how DBA's maintain server's with multiple oracle_home's?(though recommended to have multiple schema's instead of multiple db's)
I'm the only Oracle guy in the team and need to take care of everything(basically i'm developer and new to DBA related tasks)
My lead's warned me to make sure that it won't happen again !!
Thanks guys.. you are always awesome in giving nice suggestions.find alert_SID.log file post excerpt showing entries from period just prior to the DB STARTUP.
it appears the instance went missing.
Hopefully the log file will have clues as to why it went away.

Corrupted files in Lightroom

I just took pictures at a Race last weekend (took 1,000 pictures), and about a dozen of them are corrupted in Lightroom (see attached screen capture).
If I open them from the card in Photoshop, they're OK, but in Lightroom they are corrupted.
Anybody has seen this? Why are they corrupted?
Shot Raw. Canon 20D. Mac OS 10.4.11. Lightroom 2.4
Thanks.

YES A POSSIBLE SOLUTION (cut-to-the-chase at the bottom):
my equipment:
iMac - 2.33Ghz core2duo - 4GB RAM - Snow Leopard
External USB 1.5TB+ where the RAW files go
Lexar firewire 800 CF card reader (this was introduced into my workflow... things started to get corrupt when I factored this into the equation)
Genaric USB card reader
16GB Kingston @ 133x (a few of these... could be the problem too)
16GB SanDisk Extreeme III 30MB/s
5D mkii
Lightroom 2.5 (CAMERA RAW 5.5)
back story: I've only been searching for about a few hours (after I discovered the corrupt files). I called Adobe... not the people you want to call when you have a fustrating situation like this... cause you get and indian guys, who is hard to talk to and super slow and pretty much said there is no solution. He didn't see if there where other people who had this problem or ask another support person... just cannot fix it. Shame on Adobe for hiring people who are hard to talk to and don't really understand. Adobe support = F in my books.
Sorry, back to the backstory. I had no problems or any corrupt files until recently. I would get one here and there, but no to the point that ever twenty pictures a few in a series would be corrupt and have white and pink lines and such.
Possible problem: There could be multiple factors it could be, and I'm slowly pining them down. I ultimately think it is combination of equipment I have especially pertaining to the LEXAR Firewire 800 card and the Kingston 133x cards. I'm definitly gonna change up my combination of equipment. My speculation is I think the LEXAR 800 is ripping the files too fast from the card reader.
MY SOLUTION:
I faced the fact... this is an project from a month ago and I've used my CF cards numerous of times, so I know the pictures are gone... no way to recover them from the cards again. So I did find a program called FILE JUICER (mac only, sorry) that extracts the JPG from the RAW file. Works great... even better is that the JPGs are all 21 mega pixels, yippie! So thanks File Juicer for saving the day!
I hope the person who ends up with the same problem will find this post.

Applying transaction log corrupted database?

Hi experts,
Symptoms:
I built a standby system this Monday and I completed a full DB restore without errors. I used log shipping to apply logs but an error occurred: SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: incorrect pageid (expected 20:5746350; actual 0:0). It occurred during a read of page (20:5746350) in database ID 5 at offset 0x00000af5d5c000 in file 'l:\TCPDATA4\TCPDATA19.ndf'.
I run dbcc page and found page(20:5746350) did corrupt on standby system. However, I ran dbcc page on production and it is ok. I restored this full db to another standby and ran dbcc page and it is ok. Also, Checkalloc, Checkcatalog, Checktable on production are ok.
Questions:
Does checktable detect secondary indexes corruption? I am re-compressing COSP indexes and running full checkdb on production right now to find out what's going on in our DB. How do I fix this issue? Any information will be really appreciated.

Hi Dennis!
I understand your reasonable doubt, but think that physical corruptions are 99,999...% caused by a hardware failure e.g. a defective RAM module, or a related, low-level failure as e.g. an outdated NIC driver, etc.
Then, in this case it is clear that you have a platform problem only on your standby system, and not in the one running productively right now.
Maybe you already checked your platform, but you should take into account that in most cases just reading the logs is not enough; stress tests on all of the components are usually necessary. Most of the time, when we analyze hardware related problems, the problem is only reproduced when special tests are performed. Furthermore it is possible that more than one component is weak or broken.
My recommendation is that you check the components in this order:
   - disks (complete surface) (while SAP and SQL Server are shut down)
   - disk controller
   - Memory (stress test)
   - CPU
   - all other components
Consider that restoring a backup and running in a damaged platform would imply further problems. You would be waiting until the next problem arises and that would imply a system halt or corruptions, maybe even with data loss.
Once the hardware checked and -if necessary- fixed, you can proceed as explained in SAP notes 142731 and 1420452. Of course you can also restore in a different hardware, but remember checking the platform as it is also exposed to hardware failures.
Cheers!!
