dberror 03916

[aberrios]

When trying to access a database created from a sqlbase v7.0.2
server in a SQLBase901 sqltalk client i get the following message:

============================================================
Error: 03916 LOG BLF Bad log file

Enter a SQL command

SQL> dberror 03916;

03916 LOG BLF Bad log file

Reason: The database system has determined during recovery that the
specified log file serial number does not match the database
serial number.

Remedy: Verify that the correct log files are being used.
============================================================

I am not sure if a proper server shutdown was issue in the previous environment, an what i did is coping the folder from the server and issue the install database command.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced for your concern

Have you tried a rollforward process?

-Thanks LandryC for your quick response-

A) as on Kevin McGlinchey procedure:

===========================================================
SQL> install database SPE2000;
DATABASE INSTALLED

Enter a SQL command

SQL> rollforward SPE2000 to end;
Error: 00733 VIO RZU Page being released has a zero use count (VIO RZU)

Enter a SQL command

SQL> rollforward SPE2000 to end;
Error: 00733 VIO RZU Page being released has a zero use count (VIO RZU)

Enter a SQL command

SQL> restore logs from SPE2000 to SPE2000;
Error: 00733 VIO RZU Page being released has a zero use count (VIO RZU)

Enter a SQL command

SQL> rollforward SPE2000 end;
Error: 00733 VIO RZU Page being released has a zero use count (VIO RZU)

Enter a SQL command

SQL> dberror 00733;

00733 VIO RZU Page being released has a zero use count (VIO RZU)

Reason: The use count is 1) maintained incorrectly or 2) corrupted.

Remedy: None. Report incident to Gupta Technologies, LLC
technical support.

Enter a SQL command

B) More details:

This database was created on a windows 2000 server 25 users v7.0.2 sqlbase installation.

I am using the Linux SQLBase901 trial version.

The original server installation was not working at the time I did the copy of the folder (murphys law, they can not find the integrator who sold them the solution neither the original installation CD's)

I do not have experience with gupta (have worked with oracle , postgresql and mysql).
