1. Is there any way to check the status of the Index table.

   We installed the 6.3.2 on our system and now the nature of our data
   corruption has changed. It used to give us "BTP_CHAIN errors " message
   but now it is doing a core dump. I have two questions.
   
   1. Is there a way to check the status of the Index files to see if they
   are OK and not corrupted? Since I did not know of anyway to test the
   index files, We tried to start the system without reindexing and it
   failed, yet after rendering, it works fine for almost a day. The
   corruption happens almost after the pick hour everyday.
   2. Do you know of a good way to read the Core Dump file? We have FreeBsd
   Unix and I have tried to read the file with "gdb -c coredumpfile.core"
   command, but it complains about the format of the file. Any clue?
   
   

2. Re: [HACKERS] Is there any way to check the status of the Index table.

   It also needs to know which executable produced the core file.  I
   usually omit the -c, simply "gcc <executable> <core file>".
   
   Hope this helps,
