Tech Tip: Data corruption and SEND RECORD/RECEIVE RECORD
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 2003 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: February 19, 2004

When you face data corruption in your database, you may be tempted to use the commands SEND RECORD and RECEIVE RECORD to export all your data and reimport it in a new data file. You should not do this because, most of the time, the corruption present in a record will be exported and reimported as well. Only an export to text will guarantee corruption-free data.
