Hello,
 
Recently, I have backed up database which was:
- SAPDB 7.4 unicode one
- working on Win2000 Prof (EN) with Polish locales
- the app working with the db instance was connecting via OLEDB driver for ODBC and corresponding SAPDB ODBC driver
After complete backup of the db and log, I re-installed the system from scratch and wanted to restore the database. Here my problems started.
After restoring, I got an error during restarting the db instance, I looked into error log and found out two messages:
- RESTART ERROR 3800
- and db backup does not match log backup
Then I started the instance "manually" and it works fine with one little odd thing:
- It does not show national characters correctly which were present in the database before (both in app and sqlstudio).
 
Currently, I have my locales set to my national ones (Polish), OS and DB version is excatly the same as before.
Would you be so kind to give me a hint what went wrong? and where is my mistake:
- wrong sequence during restoring
- I missed some locale settings which make the national characters look strange
 
Please give me a hint.
Thanks in advance,
Tomasz Kantecki
