Database Administration Utilities
With the Validation utility, you can validate the indexes and keys on some or all of the tables in the database. The Validation utility scans the entire table, and looks up each record in every index and key defined on the table.
This utility can be used in combination with regular backups (see Backup and Data Recovery) to give you confidence in the integrity of the data in your database.
You can access the Validation utility in the following ways:
From Sybase Central, using the Validate Database wizard
At the command prompt, using the dbvalid command. This is useful for incorporating into batch or command files.
For more information on validating tables, see VALIDATE TABLE statement.
