Row length exceeding page size may result in loss of data

Abstract: Row length exceeding page size may result in loss of data

Problem: In InterBase 4.2 (and possibly before), gfix, sweep, and gbak do not correctly identify secondary data pages belonging to a row. gfix may report orphaned page errors and gbak may report doubly-allocated pages. Solution: A work-arround for 4.2 (and possibly before) is to raise the page size to greater than the record size if possible. This problem has been fixed in InterBase 5.0 (Marion changes 22093, 22091).
