Most of the tables were rebuilt and data was inserted just fine but three core tables are missing. Reading through the dump file there are no clues to what is different in these three (ownership, rights etc.). There are no blobs or complicated procedures or anything else in the database, very basic, not too big (17 Mb dump file un compacted)... So back to the good old fashioned way - export data as text, create database and tables and copy back in from text file. What really puzzles me is the partial restore. If it is broke it should be broke everywhere... Tony
