Try to open db in hexedit.
Do you see just ZEROs in 8MB file or you see records ?

I can assume such case:
    records are in table, but counter in table header is zero.
    
This also must never happens in Valentina and there is no legal way to get
this.

Cindy all this really looks like mystery.
I really have no idea how it is possible to get FINE db with no records.
