hey @KaeTuuN. Do you have easy access to your database? I would like you to check something.

Run SELECT COUNT(*) FROM oc_calendarobjects WHERE calendardata IS NULL.

[KaeTuuN]

Hi @ChristophWurst , Zero hits.
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 0 |
+----------+

[ChristophWurst]

Okay. Then it's only the join data.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM oc_calendar_reminders cr LEFT JOIN oc_calendarobjects co ON cr.object_id=co.id LEFT JOIN oc_calendars c ON cr.calendar_id=c.id WHERE co.calendardata IS NULL

[KaeTuuN]

@ChristophWurst two hits there! What should I do with them?
I did some further Investigation and found out, that these two Entries (should) have been deleted month ago via an Android Smartphone with DAVx⁵ App. They do not appear in the Users Calendar any more, so I think something went wrong with the deletion.
So my assumption is, that I can delete those entries, but I wanna make sure to not break Anything.

Greetings KaeTuuN

[ChristophWurst]

Does the joined calendar or calendar_object have deleted_at set to anything but NULL?

The deletion of those rows will most definitely make the error go away, but I'd like to understand how we ended up there. This might lead us to the root cause of the issue.

[KaeTuuN]

Nope, both rows say NULL at cr.deleted_at

[ChristophWurst]

it's co.deleted_at and c.deleted_at

Related ? #20766

[KaeTuuN]

@ChristophWurst My fault, copied the wrong string. But yes, both ( co & c) are empty.

@tcitworld Seems Possible. If i could reproduce this error in my Dev Environment, I would test your patch.

[KaeTuuN]

I made some further Investigation and found out, that the error was handmade... Someone manipulated (deleted) two Entries to help a Costumer with an error... So I think this one can be closed.

Thx 4 help everyone!
