RE: Archecker Table Level restore

Posted By: John Miller iii
Date: Wednesday, 13 January 2010, at 12:05 p.m.

In Response To: RE: Archecker Table Level restore (Laurie Gustin)

From the partnum listed you should be able to tell which table is causing
the
problem. After you have identified the problem table please re-verify the
schema
for that table. I see a few of your tables have columns which are
datetimes,
double check the datetime qualifier on these tables, the order of all
columns
and the number of columns.

The error is being produced because archecker is taking the row off the
archive and converting column by column to an ascii value. This conversion
is failing for the datetime values.
