Hi @nivedita1
That is because you have upgraded to a newer release and the downgraded again.
Metabase does not support downgrading, you'll have to revert to your backup.
Latest release is 0.41.2: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/releases/latest

we have 2 metabase instances connecting to the same postgresql set up db...both these instances are of different versions.. cld this b the issue?

@nivedita1 That is absolutely not supported and you will end up with corruption.

If you are running multi-instances to the same application database, then the instances should always be running the same version.

got it...thanks..

will upgrading the lower metabase version fix this issue?

@nivedita1 No, you have to revert to your backup or upgrade all instance to the same newer version.

will upgrade the lower version to the same version as the other and check..
