NAME
ubcheck – exhaustively check UNIBASE tables for structure errors
SYNOPSIS
ubcheck <directory> {<application>} {<table>}
DESCRIPTION
ubcheck will exhaustively check every UNIBASE table in a directory for errors.
Any errors are logged in a file called filecheck in the data directory. An existing filecheck is removed before the testing begins.
As ubcheck is exhaustive it can take a long time and is best run as an overnight process.
NB. The UNIBASE isam routines are very robust and tables are not normally corrupted except by machine failures which are usually detected by a redundancy check everytime a table is opened. This utility simply provides an extra level of assurance.
