So this application running on an 8.1.7 database, NT4, has a utility supplied by vendor which when run by one of our apps people is reporting an ORA-01410 (invalid ROWID). Given our "history" with the vendor in question I have some doubts about the application =:-0

In relation to same I have a few queries:

[1] Would an Export of the database report problems if above issue existed
in database?. A full export is currently taken each night and completing without any warnings.

[2] Is dbverify any good to troubleshoot this type of error?. I currently
run a dbverify on Offline backups of the data files in question and no errors are being reported. Granted this is on a "copy" of the datafiles but I ran a test before where I corrupted a datafile, took a copy, and the dbverify reported problem with copy so I assume my logic is good here?.

[3] If I run ANALYZE TABLE xxx VALIDATE STRUCTURE CASCADE on offending table
is output reported to screen?
I have not run it yet as the DB itself is "busy" a lot of the time and above is rcommended for quite time due to prevention of Selects, Inserts, Updates and Deletes on object.

[4] What other methods could be used to troubleshoot this problem?. As I
mentioned I have doubts about the vendor supplied application and would like to prove one way or the other if some data corruption exists or not!

Any help with above would be much appreciated :)
