it's difficult to tell.
Would you mind attaching an example of an old database?

Apologies for the late answer. 

My MacOS Time Machine saves daily backups of my documents, so I can search in
the backup files.

What I did was I looked into my backup disc to find older copies of the
database. I opened all the daily backup files until I found the last one to
open correctly as *.odb, and re-entered manually the missing data, then
re-saved with a different name.

The new version of the database is now working correctly, opening normally as
*.odb. 
But the old version of the database that prompted me to write to you still
opens as *.odt. 

So my question at this point is no longer about restoring the database.

It is whether my problem with the database was a one-off specific to my system
or if this is a hidden bug that may affect others.

How did you get your backup? There isn't a default-backup in LO for
database-files. So I would have a look for problems at this point.

I have never had problems to open or close a database after changing LO to a
newer released version.

After your latest message I decided to return to my backed-up copies of my old
database document and see what happened.

I back up my files on a daily basis, but the back-ups made over the last week
all did not work. 

I moved backward in time until I found a back-up copy that would open correctly
as database, and made a note of the date. 

All the back-up copies made until the end of January, BEFORE I upgraded
LibreOffice to 6.0.1 on Mac 10.13.1 opened correctly as database documents.
(*.odb) . But the first few back-ups made in February, also BEFORE the upgrade,
didn't open. 

All the back-up copies made AFTER I upgraded LibreOffice to 6.0.1 on Mac
10.13.1 did not open except as word-processing documents. (*.odt)

The file is now restored and working correctly as a database (I have opened and
closed it several times with no problem, and it works as it should, as a *.odb
database). 

But I'm not quite sure why this is. I don't know if there was something that
happened at the beginning of February that caused the document to be corrupted
and no longer open as a database, or if this is a problem created by upgrading
to 6.0.1 that affected some of the back-ups. As far as I can think the database
worked just fine during all of February until I first encountered this issue
two days ago. There were no crashes or unexpected quitting by the program. 

Have you had other cases where database files suddenly stop working this way
after an upgrade?

Thank you for all your help on this subject.

Looks like the *.odb-file of the old database would be damaged. It shows more
than 13500 pages of content. No wonder for opening the file in such a long
time.

Could you try to open the file with a packaging-program?
Could you try to open other "old" databases like this:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=134850
?

If you don't know how to try to repair a database-file you could also send the
file per private mail to me and I will try it.

Regards

Robert

I am attaching two screenshots of LO 6.0.1. on Mac High Sierra 10.13.3

I can create, save and open a new database. The opening screen of the New
Database is in the first shot.

Please note that the new database opens and processes correctly in normal time. 

The old database opens not as a database but as a word-processing document. The
second screenshot is of the opening screen of the old database. 

The old database takes a very long time to open and during it LibreOffice seems
to get stuck (colour wheel and indication that the app isn't responding). 

Eventually after 3-4 minutes the document opens but not as database.

You could create a new database. Could you also save this database and reopen
it (close LO before reopening)?

Problem here: You can't attach a database here, because you can't open the old
files and can't delete private data. Please add a screenshot of what LO shows
after opening such a database. If you are able to open the file in a
zip-program please add a screenshot of the content the zip-program shows.

I tried both opening The file by double clicking on the file and opening the
file from the LibreOffice dialogue, and in both cases it defaulted to Writer. 
I can create a new database file, but I cannot open as database the files
created before the upgrade. They default to text processing both in windows and
in Mac oOS. The extension on the old file remains .odb but the file never opens
as .odb. Any newly created database file opens normally as.odb. 
All my backup fdatabaaes also open as .odt even though their extensions are
.odb
This situation only started happening after I upgraded to 6.0.1 on Mac.

How do you open the files? Did you try first opening LibreOiffce, then open the
database file from the LibreOffice-dialog?

Are you able to create a new database-file?
