The first paragraph and note in “Starting servers in forced recovery mode,” in Chapter 13, “System Recovery and Database Repair,” in the System Administration Guide: Volume 1 are incorrect. Please disregard the following:
“If a server fails to start with an exception or an assert when opening a database, start the server with forced recovery. Forced recovery allows the server to start if the allocation map is inconsistent. In this mode, options display information about inconsistencies. You can also specify options to repair such inconsistencies.
Use forced recovery only when normal database recovery fails to restore the database to a running state.”
The correct information is:
“Follow this procedure only if you see s_buf or free list errors during failure recovery. If SQL Anywhere recovery errors occur, -iqfrec will not correct the problem.”
