In Response To: RE: Archecker Table Level restore (John Miller iii)

I did verify the schema and they match. I am using the same user/profile to restore that was used to create the archive... but Im wondering if I need to set the DBDATE environment variable? We have gotten this date error occasionally (very seldom) with some of our apps when the data is actually fine...

Im have cut back to trying to restore just one table... the new cmd file is below -

database crimelab;

create table reportpdf (

reportid INT not null,

reportdate DATETIME YEAR TO MINUTE,

createdby CHAR(8),

reportpdf BYTE
) in crimelab;
create table tlr_reportpdf (

reportid INT not null,

reportdate DATETIME YEAR TO MINUTE,

createdby CHAR(8),

reportpdf BYTE
);

Insert into tlr_reportpdf Select * from reportpdf;

RESTORE to '2010-01-11 13:00:00' ;
SET WORKSPACE to pstemp_1;

Thanks
Laurie

>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.
