Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: On dbv -- OTS said not to use
We too saw the documentation on DataBaseVerify and thought it would be great to
validate our data files. Unfortunately, it detected some invalid row numbers.
When I called OTS, I was told that there was a known limitation in the current
version that reported the above errors when a datafile exceeded .5G. Fortunately,
they had a new version which they sent immediately. However, it detected some
corrupt pages. When I called to ask about these, I was told that they discourage
the use of dbv (what a difference a day makes!) and that I should use analyze ...
validate structure which is significantly slower.
