RE: Macola v7.5- Files easily corrupted
Be we have been running 7.5 under btrieve for -- you guessed it -- about 12 years. It is very uncommon for any of our files to become corrupted. Pervasive (btrieve) is very stable for our us.
RE: Macola v7.5- Files easily corrupted
1. Hosting your files on a Novell Server. Even though Novell owned Btrieve for some time, large files on Novell get corrupted often.
2. Having problems with your network. Btrieve/Pervasive has no error correction as it works at a lower layer of the network stack before error correction applies. What this means is that if you are having dropped packets, then you will have corruption of btr files.
3. Btrieve is not configured properly.
Any of this sound like your situation? Please note, that dropped packets usually go undetected in most networks as most software works without errors after the lost packets are resent. If you do have problems with other software, it would probably manifest itself with the "General Network Failure" error messages.
