Dear DB-Manager

When I try to look up the name of the Summit OH/SL-019 I get the Error-Massage below. I tried several times. I only get it, when I try to look up an OH/SL summit. But I can upload QSO’s with OH/SL-019.

In reply to HB9BIN_3:

I need to correct the times in my log later. The activation started 1100 UTC and not 0900 UTC as I put there. Now to next summit. Hope the weather is not as windy as yesterday.

I think I know what is causing this bug. We are working on this now and hopefully will have it fixed in the next couple of weeks.

So 2012 arrives with a bang! Followed by a exception in the database code.

I’ve found the tiny little feature that causes this problem. It’s been sat in the code waiting to bite since SOTA started nearly 10 years ago. It’s hard to believe that you have these bugs for so long without anyone finding them. OK there are 47753 summits so it’s easily possible to have some issues with that much data.

Anyway, the fix is simple. However, nearly 30 years of software development has taught me you don’t change code that works on dates without lots and lots and lots and lots and lots… and lots of testing! I don’t believe this bug affects anything other than the display of some summits. Scoring these summits appears to be fine.

The fix will be uploaded in a few days or so.
