I recently received a database from a user. They said they were viewing a
record in the application, and went back to open it a bit later and the
record was gone. In the database the record is indeed gone, but when I look
at the table .dat file in a binary editor, I can see the record information!
So I have the following questions:
- How could this happen? The table is corrupt, but the database continues
to function?
- Is there any way to get the record back?
- Are there any derby tools for this sort of forensic recovery of records,
like some low level tools that can read and dump what is in a single dat
file?
The DataFileReader attached to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5201 may help.
Hope this is useful,

- Could it just be an issue of the record being deleted? They insist they
did not, but you know users...
Thanks for any advice.
