I assume the "dbv" you are refering to is the same as "dbverf" or "dbverfXX" as I know it on some systems - i.e. the "database verify" utility. If it is something different, ignore this message.
The behavior of the "dbverf" utility is platform specific when it comes to its ability to verify online db files. For example, on unix it can do its job on online files, while on WinNT it can verify only offline files.
