The tables on which it failed during the data pump... did they have foreign keys pointing to the 2 corrupt tables?? If they do, that's probably the reason it failed. If not... what exactly was the error? I've fixed a few DB's in the past manually but it's tedious work (and you might loose some records due to corrupt db-pages). Before pumping over the data from the corrupt DB you need to restore that DB to a working DB (backup/restore cycle). The DB will be marked as offline in case of errors but you can reach the data with a single instance of your DB-manager of choice. Then you need to remove the records in those tables which depend on the tables you left out. Or you need to NULL the foreign keys if your DB-design allows it. After that you should be able to pump the adjusted tables. (I even repaired some DB's in place after which I could bring them online again. And after a backup/restore cycle they were ok to use) Regards, Rik ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Visit http://www.firebirdsql.org and click the Documentation item on the main (top) menu.
