Hi, Trying to access sqlite data base using the database toolbox, fetch function.

I recieve the following messege:

Error using sqlite/fetch

Received exception upon attempting an operation. Exception: [The database DBname.sqlite

[SELECT v FROM ס WHERE k='123'].

When I use DB browser the integrity check return errors but the DB is opened.

Hi,

When you encounter the “database disk image is malformed” error in SQLite, it indicates that the database file is corrupted.

Here are some steps you can take to try and fix this issue:

Backup the database: Creating a backup is still a crucial step before attempting any repairs, as it ensures you have a copy of the original state of the database.
Attempt to repair the database: Run an integrity check, export the database to an SQL file, import it into a new database.
Partial database recovery: Even if the database is corrupted, you might still be able to recover some of the data. Tools like SQLite Browser or command-line utilities can help you extract as much data as possible.
