Technical Overview

Most Common Reasons for DBF File Corruption

A database of any type or created by any database program, is always prone to corruption due to its complicated file structure. There are various reasons which can cause corruption in DBF files created by Visual FoxPro and other database programs like dBase, MultiBase, dBXL, Clipper, CodeBase, Arago, etc. Some of the most common reasons are discussed below:

Human Errors: Human errors are the mistakes done by human, whether accidentally or intentionally. Such mistakes include:
- Forcefully cancellation of Visual FoxPro or any other database application especially when you're working on the database file.
- Adding invalid form of content into the DBF file, and/or making unnecessary changes to the DBF file using Hex editor.
- Try to open password-protected DBF files with wrong passwords.
- Using older or outdated versions of database applications.
- And most importantly, removing or deleting Windows system files.
Virus Infection: Computer virus plays an important role in file corruption. DBF files are not immune to virus infection. Virus can easily infect the DBF file by editing, modifying or deleting some part of the file. Sometimes virus can also cause complete file loss.
Software Malfunction: Software malfunction is mainly caused by the internal bugs. Since every software application has some internal bugs, they can cause severe issues. The internal bugs found in the database applications may put the DBF files at high risk. Software malfunction also occurs due to software collision with other installed applications.
Storage Media Failure: Since everything including the DBF files is stored in a storage media, it plays a very important role here. If the storage media on which your DBF files are stored crashes or fails due to any reason, the DBF files become inaccessible or corrupt.
Abruptly System Shutdown: Abruptly system shutdown is always very harmful. It can cause both logical and physical failures in your system. If you're working on the database file and suddenly the power goes off, this may put the database file at high risk of corruption.
Network Failure: Database applications like Visual FoxPro and Clipper use network to send and receive data. If you're receiving or transferring data over a network and any interruption takes place during this, it may cause network failure. Sometimes network failure may cause corruption in DBF database files.

List of Common Error Messages

Whenever corruption takes place in Access database, it shows error messages when you try to open or access it. Some of the most common error messages are:

Couldn't find database "X:\...\database.dbf.
Database file appears corrupt: Page xyz is of wrong type.
Error message: "Corrupt table"/ "index header".
Access to table disabled due to previous error.
The fields in table did not match the entries in the database.
File table.dbf does not exist.
