Error: malformed database schema (books_insert_trg)

cbatalla · 05-07-2010, 01:58 AM

Yesterday I updated to version 0.6.51 without problems. However, today when I enter Calibre I receive the error "Bad database location"

with the following details:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\ui.py", line 517, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 126, in __init__

File "site-packages\calibre\library\sqlite.py", line 76, in get
DatabaseError: malformed database schema (books_insert_trg) - trigger books_insert_trg already exists

I can point to an empty database I have on another directory, but if I go to preferences and re-select my old database the program says:

ERROR: Invalid database: <p>An invalid library already exists at f:\calibrelib, delete it before trying to move the existing library.<br>Error: malformed database schema (books_insert_trg) - trigger books_insert_trg already exists

As the database is not loaded, I cannot check its consistency from proferences.

Is there anything (from command line, for example) that I can do to try to fix my database. There are more than 5.000 books inside!

Thanks a lot.

what version did you update from?

cbatalla · 05-08-2010, 07:32 AM

I was upgrading from 0.6.48 but I DID work with the new version without problems for a day. The next time I opened calibre is when I received the error.

Strange, can you mail your database to me (the file metadata.db) to kovid at kovidgoyal. net

Of course! I have already sent it to you. Thanks a lot for your help.
