Database Malformed error

Morning folks,

I have a Primavera P6 v21.12 standalone SQL Lite database which I was working on yesterday, however this morning I have gone to open P6 and it is giving me a "database disk image is malformed"

Thankfully I did create an xer backup last Friday, so still have the main project available which I have imported to a new DB, however I'd really like to be able to access the corrupt DB.

Anyone know of a way this can be repaired?

Thanks,

Phil B.
