You can perform an integrity check when you suspect the database may contain
errors, but don??™t want to perform any changes until you know that it does. The integrity-specific
options include:
/f
Defines the prefix to use for name of report files. The default setting uses the name
of the database, followed by .integ.raw.
Repair mode actually changes the database. The most common repair simply removes the damaged
entries. This action can result in various kinds of data loss that affect system operation. For
example, you could lose some of the security settings for your system. Always make a backup of
the database before you repair it. The repair-specific option includes:
/f Defines the prefix to use for the name of report files. The default setting uses the
name of the database, followed by .integ.raw.
Checksum mode verifies that the file doesn??™t contain any bit-level errors. The checksum acts as
a means of verifying the data itself is error free. Compare this check with an integrity check and
you??™ll notice that the two provide complementary error checks. You should perform both checks on
a database when you suspect that it contains errors.
