Question About Segment Errors

[Barry G. Sumpter]

Thanks Steve for your input.



Hi jda,

I think having a stable database far outweighs using vText or blob fields.

If it were my project and I had any thought that the issues may be with
vText or Blob fields,
I'd develop a test app and DB without them.
Test thoroughly myself.
Then Ask a user in good standing for testing purposes to have a go with it.


If it still occurred then I'd move to a previously known to be stable DB
version.

Also, absolutely, without hesitation, be sure to send Ruslan and his team 
a copy of your fresh database and a copy of the failed database 
so they can run their own before and after analysis.

They sorted out a problem I had on a huge huge DB I had been working on for
months.

----

I also had another issue with database failing and corrupting beyond
recovery.
I started to back up the db at every screen change until I found the issue.
I now leave the backup in as standard and have a admin property to turn it
off.

----

Another practive I've developed over years is to 
1. Open the database
2. Execute whatever on the database
3. close the database

i.e. I never leave the database open


hth

Thanks,
      Barry G. Sumpter

Minimum is 10 MB. Most people leave it there.
