Database errors

[Doctor Death]

Is it ok to have vbulletin database errors infrequently that dont affect the operation of the board?

I get emails from my server every now and then about vbulletin database errors but there never seems to be an operational impact.

Anyone else get these?

What do the errors actually say ?

Here is one that just came in:

Database error in vBulletin 4.0.8:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT a.attachmentid
FROM vywhbabh_attachment AS a
WHERE
(filedataid = AND userid = 1);

Any idea of what mod would cause this and/or how I would go about fixing it?

It's from a cron job, but I can find no default vbulletin query like that.

Lynne;

Thanks... do you have any suggestions on how I would search for the source of this error within the CRON jobs?

[Lynne]

Look to see what cron jobs you are running that aren't from default vbulletin. Or, even look at the time it ran at and see what jobs run at that time.
