This is obviously a 19security problem, and we encourage you to upgrade these applications to 20the 4.2 release as soon as possible.</p> 21<p>The Queue databases must be dumped and reloaded in order to fix this 22problem. First build the Berkeley DB 4.2 release, then use your previous 23release to dump the database, and the 4.2 release to reload the 24database. For example:</p> 25<blockquote><pre>db-4.1.25/db_dump -P password -k database | db-4.2.xx/db_load -P password new_database</pre></blockquote> 26<p>Note this is <b>only</b> necessary for Queue access method databases, 27where extent files were configured along with either encryption or 28checksums.</p> 29<table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../upgrade.4.2/java.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../upgrade.4.2/cksum.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> 30</td></tr></table> 31<p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
