Corrupt derby db

I don't have specifics at the moment (I can get them) but we have a
small application that uses the Embedded version of Derby.  Problem is
every 3-6mos after running at customer site they get a corrupted derby
database.  I was curious if this was a programming error and what
typically causes corruption to derby?  It seems to happen pretty
consistently although I have no idea why. 

Thanks for any insights. 

-Brian

I appreciate the time Rick but I apologize.  I was preparing myself for
a discussion with the customer but now it seems they have simply used
the term "corruption" to indicate that stale records were in the
database.  False alarm!  We're using 10.5.3 release btw (latest and
greatest! )

Hi Brian,

It's hard to say anything useful without more information. For starters:

o What version of Derby is being used?

o What's the stack trace which signals that you have a data corruption?

Thanks,
-Rick
