When trying to add a column to a table I have got the following errors,
which seem to leave the table unusable. This has happened several times,
both on my development machines and on my production server.

This is the log which prints out when I do the table alteration.

AWT-EventQueue-0 ALTER TABLE SURVEYS ADD SURVEY_STATUS int

A_TYPE INT,SQL_DATETIME_SUB INT,CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH INT,ORDINAL_POSITION
INT,IS_NULLABLE CHAR(3))

When I subsequently try to access that table I get the following error
every time.

>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[DBService] ERROR connectToDatabase SQLException: java.sql.SQLException:
Internal error header recLength=10001
Computed record length should be 6315
Table: SURVEYS

The only solution I have found so far is to drop the table and re-create
it, losing any data content in then process.
Does anyone have any ideas what is happening, and how to prevent it, and
or to recover from it.

regards
David
