-FIX_FSS_M[ETADATA]
Fix malformed UNICODE_FSS
metadata.
-FIX_FSS_M[ETADATA] charset-name
This switch forces gbak
to fix malformed UNICODE_FSS
metadata during a restore.
Malformed metadata string will be attempted to be read using the specified character set charset-name, and then transformed to UNICODE_FSS
.Specifying the wrong character set name may result in logical corruption of the strings in your metadata.
Caution
|
Do not use this switch without a clear understanding of what it does.Incorrect use could corrupt your database instead of fixing things.Always keep a copy of the original database and its backup. |
This switch, and the preceding one, should not be required under normal circumstances.However, if a restore operation fails with a "malformed string" error, the message output from gbak
will refer the user to one or both of these switches to fix the malformed UNICODE_FSS
data or metadata as appropriate.
