Hi,

Lately a few customers reported to me table corruption with one specific table. Which made me think of possibly flawed design I implemented. Here is the description of the design - in general terms.

I have a BIZ base class that is used for pretty much all tables of the application. For example, a form can instantiate any number of the BIZ classes based on this class, depending on the tables used (e.g. Vendors, Staff, Parts, etc.). In the INIT method of the base BIZ class a BIZ class to an audit table is instantiated (using the same base class). Therefore, each BIZ class has a reference (class property) to a BIZ class of this audit table. All BIZ classes use CursorAdapter to connect to the base tables. And therefore at any given time there could be a number of BIZ classes "pointing" to the same physical table (audit table). This audit table is the one that gets corrupted. Could this approach cause the corruption? I am thinking of redesigning the base BIZ class and NOT to instantiate the Audit Table BIZ class but rather do just one BIZ class for the entire data session. But before I go through tons of work of rewriting this, I would like to hear your input.

TIA.
