GOAL:
Difference between dbrpr scan, dbanalysis and probkup scan
GOAL:
Do dbrpr scan, dbanalysis and probkup scan all report the same type of errors
FIX:
No. The three utilities report different errors because they all have different jobs and different things available to look at.
For example, the backup program reads all the blocks below an area's highwater mark, but does not look at anything in the blocks except part of the block header.
Dbanalysis on the other hand, depending on which options are selected, will look at all the records in record blocks and some of the stuff in index blocks.
Neither of those programs is designed to look for corruption or to validate the correctness of all the data it process or passes by. So they report different things depending on whether the errors that may exist in the database affect what they are trying to do.
