I have a database in place with a client that seems to lose data overnight. They enter records and exit the system, and then claim to not be able to find them again the next day.
The ID numbers in the Primary Key Index of the affected tables do seem to have gaps in, when they should be auto-incremented and continuous. The client does not have the facility to delete records, so there seems to be an issue.
I have tried using DBCC CHECKDB and DBCC REINDEX but the records do not re-appear and the issue continues.
On exit from the VB.NET 2010 app, I use the following to write the record for each table:
Me.binds_Tablename1.EndEdit()
Me.binds_Tablename2.EndEdit()
TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Dataset_1)
This system has worked fine for 2 years, but is now playing up. Could database corruption be the issue?
This now appears to be sorted – the client was running a mirrored hard disk, one of which was starting to fall over with SMART error reports. Since this was replaced, the problem has not re-occurred.
Thanks for the help!
