This sound good, but first we need to detect why rpms database got corrupted.
It's Berkeley DB. Corruption should be expected. :-/
I guess I'm a little confused here, actually.
Let's take bsddb out of the example.
If I'm a client of an oracle db and I repeatedly open, read, close the
database using the interface available, for small amounts of data that
might not be the most efficient use of the database connection.
However, if as a result of open-read-close the database is corrupted
and/or rendered unusable where would you say the bug lies?
To me it seems like a valid client connection should not be able to
corrupt a database simply by open-read-closing no matter how many times.
And if it can then clearly there is something wrong with the database
code.
Well, obviously. I think that's exactly what Steven means... Personal
experience with both subversion repos using Berkeley DB storage and rpmdb
has made me too expect nothing else but eventual corruption from BDB :-/
