On 2013-01-27 qubit said that the question at http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/2103/corrupted-database/ was closed because it was not relevant or outdated and that Jamesff should file a bug about it. Bug 55230 appears to be related to this problem. I know that this problem is old and I have not had it since I updated LibreOffice to 4.4.4.3. But now it has come back to affect one of my files. I use iMac 21.5 inch with 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory and OS X Yosemite 10.10.4. The most recent thing done to the computer was update Java to version 8 update 51. My knowledge of computers has lagged so much that I do not understand the answers that I have read for this problem. Please tell me simply and exactly how to establish the connection to the data source. And why is this problem for only one .odb file and not others? Gary Thornton vayaplaya@aol.com
Could you check if you use LibreOffice 4.4.4.3 64 or 32 bits? Then check if you use Java 1.8 32 bits or 64 bits version. Both must match. I mean either you use 32 bits for both or 64 bits for both but not 32 bits for one and 64 bits for the other.

That being said, I also don't see any reproducible steps. Marking as NEEDINFO - please describe step by step how we get to see the problem and then set to UNCONFIRMED. If you're looking for user support, please close this as INVALID and ask on ask.libreoffice.org or the user mailing list. Thanks!
Which database do you use on the specific file which has the problem? embedded hsqldb (type by default in LibreOffice, Mysql, other?) Which database do you use on the other files (so which don't have the problem)?
Setting resolved insufficientdata - no input from OP for nearly a year, and doesn't appear reproducible. We do get postings occasionally from people with corrupted ODB files (I have encountered them once or twice) but these issues are rarely reproducible, which is problematic in and of itself, as we will never be able to confirm them. The fact that they happen is bad enough to start with, and our triaging system doesn't allow us to handle them effectively.
