From Couchman's 8i cert prep book:
"DBVERIFY is a utility that verifies the integrity of a datafile or production file. It can be used either to verify that a backup is usable, to verify the usability of a production database, or to diagnose a situation where corruption is suspected on a datafile or backup."
