At times, you may view that your MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database is
behaving abnormally. Some of the abnormal symptoms could be an error
message while opening any database table, invalid characters in place of
pre-defined values, and and more. The main reason for abnormal behavior
of the database is its corruption due some logical crash. Few common
reasons for corruption of MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database are abnormal
termination, faulty network devices, simultaneous modifications,
conflicting third-party software, and incompatible service packs.
To
overcome such database corruption scenarios, the user can use an
up-to-date backup and perform restoration. However, restoration fails in
cases where the user either forgets to create a database or the
database backup itself gets damaged. In such cases, the database users
can use a third-party DBF File Repair application to repair his/her
corrupted database.
To illustrate the above case, consider a
real-time scenario wherein you execute a query to modify your MS Visual
FoxPro 9.0 database. While the query was performing the modification,
the system shutdown due to power failure. However, the next time you
tried to mount the database, you encountered an error message that did
not allow you to access the database records. Moreover, the same error
message appears every time you try to access the database.
Cause:The
root cause for the error message is MS Visual FoxPro 9.0 database
corruption due to improper system shutdown.
Resolution:The
database corruption error message can be surmounted by following the
below steps:
Use a complete database backup and perform
restoration. However, in case of database backup unavailability, you
will need to search for a commercial DBF File Repair utility.
