cat archive.db ".dump" | grep "^ROLLBACK" -v ) fixed_arvhive.db
WARNING!
If the "Error: near line 4: cannot commit - no transaction is active" error is showed the database wasn't fixed.
Continue with the following commands.sqlite3 archive.db "vacuum;"
sqlite3 archive.db ".dump" | sqlite3 fixed_archive.db
- Check the integrity again with the same command as above. Now, it should show "ok".
sqlite3 fix_archive.db "PRAGMA integrity_check"
