Ya, one of those words.

When I talk about a corrupt database for the Kobo device database, I nearly always mean invalid tables, pages, indexes etc. Things that are found doing the database check. Not inconsistencies between the tables.
Sometimes I pretend to be a DBA, so maybe I can dip into the database and run some queries and see if I can figure out if there are such inconsistencies. However, the database should have been OK, having been pulled from a previous good backup, so PeterT's idea of bad data being synced back from the servers might make more sense. Especially since I thought I fixed the problem, and then it reappeared later.

But, it's probably to late now to see what was happening.
At least I know what I did to cause this -- should be easy to reproduce. Also, I should have one or two backups of corrupted databases.

I suppose the next question is if it should be calibre's job to do database repair.
