3040   Database is locked due to crash while not audited

Cause

This error occurs if the database was previously opened in NO-AUDIT mode, and terminated abnormally before all updates were committed. It is not safe to use the database, because updates will not have been audited, and therefore the database is most likely in an inconsistent state and is not recoverable.

Action

Restore the database from backup.
