Hi there,

I've got a database that was built built by one process and is meant to
be read by another. I'm using Berkeley DB 4.1.24 (as far as I know, the
most current version). During the build, nothing strange happens. I
correctly set up an environment, open a database, write records into it,
close the database and then close the environment.

When the other process starts up and tries to open a cursor (opening the
cursor succeeds) and fetch the "largest" element in the database, I get
a "Requested page not found" error. I've tried db4_verify to verify the
integrity of the database, but db4_verify tells me that there is nothing
wrong with the database. How can this be?

I'm currently trying the dump the database using db4_dump, but that's
taking a huge amount of time (the database is quite large). I'll try
restoring the database and then try the second application again.

I'm confused as to why my application says "Requested page not found"
and why db4_verify says nothing at all...

Sven,

Are you creating a shared environment that is being used by both
processes? See:

You need to be sure you are NOT using the DB_PRIVATE flag as well.
