  • RE: Frequently Database goes suspect mode!

    Any idea why allow_updates is getting set to 1? If something's messing badly with the system tables it could be the cause of the suspect status.

    When you say 'failing', what do you mean? Is it not returning any rows? Is it giving a syntax error, and if so, what error?

    What's the code supposed to do?
