do you have backups of the the corrupt database?
Re-create a new edb ? you sure? how about the data? users not worried about it??
1. how did you figure out if the .edb is corrupt?
2. do you have a recent back up?
3. what is the size of the corrupted edb database? doesnt it have any data??
4. if you dont have back up - go for repairing the database - it will make the database back to clean shut down.
