A little more information... when I start the server without sql and try to initialize it from MAL I get more data:

mal>include sql;
MAPI  = datawarehouse@localhost:50000
QUERY = include sql;
ERROR = !SQLException:SQLinit:Catalogue initialization failed
        !ERROR: Incompatible database version 000000, this server supports version 050000
        !ERROR: Please move away /var/MonetDB5/dbfarm/reporting_primary/sql_logs/sql/ and its corresponding dbfarm.
#function user.main():void;
#    sql.prelude();
#end main;

Hey folks, had a database running for several weeks without any problems but early this morning anytime a client would try to connect to it the connection would just hang.  After shutting down and restarting I see this:

The database marks itself as running but any attempt to connect to it returns the following error:
monetdb ERROR MALException:setScenario:Scenario not initialized 'sql'

I've read other problems reports that had a similar issue and the suggestion was to wait for the sql module to allow connections but even after 5 minutes this is all that is returned.   Is there any way to get this database back to a consistent state so that it is usable?
