[Gagik Gavalian]

We have tools for accessing the database, which are safe. It is adviced that people use those to avoid problem, but it’s not enforced.

As I mention this happens every single time on clonfar0 node. I never saw this error on the farm machines though. May be FX can comment.  I am getting these error on data over the ET as well as decoded files from FX’s decoded files directory.

Nothing else was changed in more than one month. Anyway, I will try  to reproduce the problem and debug it.What data are you processing?

Any ways, this is a serious bug that can result in large number of job failures on the farm.
