Hi Thomas, Similar errors have been reported before. See for instance https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2589 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3052 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3143 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3344 Unfortunately, no one has come up with an explanation yet. > Does anyone know how I can recover this database? It sounds like the database has been corrupted, so I'm afraid recovery from backup is the only reliable way to do it. -- Knut Anders
