Please help! Corrupt Database File.

Is there anyway to repair a corrupt database file?

I've played nearly 50 seasons and when I loaded the restored league it lost nearly half the seasons.

:-(

There is no repair tool for the OOTP database. I do not believe the OOTP db is a standard style and so SQL/PHP/DB rebuild tools do not work with it.

There is a backup tool menu choice that you probably should get a bit more familiar with using. It is pretty quick, I use it at least after every year.

Oddly, I seem to have found my own fix to this. The player database file was corrupt, so just on a whim, I moved this file from the backup league to the current league and it seemed to have done the trick..

Although, I have to say I am quite disappointed that the only response I got on this thread was slightly condescending, offering no real advice at all.
