Re: Pervasive SQL 2000i corrupts data on Netware 4.11 server!

#1

I am having a similar problem 1 whole year after this last post. I am
trying to install win2k on an nforce board. So, I have a question, has
anybody gotten this dealt with and what was the solution?

Thanks for your comments.

There is nothing wrong with the memory as the Novell server was
reformatted

with Windows 2000 server and has been fine for the last month or
so. The

key thing is that the original server worked perfectly for over 2
years then

suddenly, overnight desktop applications like Excel/IRIS etc started

crashing using data on the network drive, Sage Payroll files
were being

reported as corrupt and previously ok EXE or ZIP files stored on
the server

could not be successfully copied and run on ANY local machine.
As I said

there were a number of cases a few years back where IRIS
(www.iris.co.uk)

and Pervasive had been installed on 4.11 servers and the same thing
happened

and the servers needed rebuilding but I had been assured by IRIS
the problem

had been solved by using the latest Pervasive for Novell software.

Regards,

Andrew

Andrew,
I would suggest that you not rule out memory problems so fast. I have
found over the years that software tests of memory cannot find all
memory errors, especially marginal timing errors. I remember a
computer a few years back that was having sporatic problems that
passed a rigorous software test of memory but several memories failed
when a hardware tester was used. After replacing those memories, all
was well again.

I've also seen problems with SCSI cables and hard drives cause similar
problems, as can bad network cards and drivers. Since the problem is not
JUST the database, but rather all types of applications, the Pervasive side
is not likely to be your issue.

If you reboot the server do the problems go away?
