    It seems that the corruption occur since I stored my data in a cloud storage folder. Now i have move all the data out of the cloud storage folder. However, the error appear everytime i start my zotero, saying zotero.sqlite appears to have become corrupted. Fortunately, i still can read and edit my data as well as add new item. In addition, my better-bibtex add on can't operate normally due to this error.

    If there's a zotero.sqlite.is.corrupt file in your Zotero data directory, try deleting that. If you're still getting the message after that, you can just close Zotero, delete zotero.sqlite, reopen Zotero, and sync to pull down your data from the online library.

    I posted a build on the issue you opened that makes BBT recover from the error you experienced. That change is now in the general release of BBT, so upgrading will remove that error.

    Thanks for dstillman's and emilianoeheyns's, dstillman'ssuggetions help me to repair my data. It's worthy to notice that, when repairing my data through sync the data from the online library, the BBT should be removed or disabled firstly. No database error is prompted. However, Once the database is repaired, i reinstalled and enabled BBT, the database prompted again.

    I deleted the old better-bibtex.sqlite and then restart zotero, a new better-bibtex.sqlite will be built automatically. Finally, everything is going well.
