8.5 crash, Ciao, and invalid timestamps

I am responsible for a database on our site’s 8.5.1 development server. This database is controlled by Ciao, since several other developers also write to it. Yesterday, the development server experienced a severe crash. When it was restored, a brief examination of the database design revealed that numerous design elements (apparently correlating with the design elements which had been most recently updated) now had timestamps set to the future! Fixup and compact did not reset the timestamps to their correct values.

My suspicion is that the database has been corrupted and I’m quite nervous about resuming design work on the database. Have any of you had this happen? I’ve never seen this before and was wondering whether anyone else had either.

Hi Chuck. I have a couple of questionsDid you analyze the NSD file?

Do you have CIAO server installed?

Did you try making a copy of the db and see if it was ok?
