The SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE function

The SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE() function checks the consistency of a Derby table. In particular, the SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE function verifies the following conditions:

Base tables are internally consistent
Base tables and all associated indexes contain the same number of rows
The values and row locations in each index match those of the base table
All BTREE indexes are internally consistent

You run this function in an SQL statement, as follows:

VALUES SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE(
    SchemaName, TableName)

where SchemaName and TableName are expressions that evaluate to a string data type. If you created a schema or table name as a non-delimited identifier, you must present their names in all upper case. For example:

VALUES SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE('APP', 'CITIES')

The SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE function returns a smallint. If the table is consistent (or if you run SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE on a view), SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_CHECK_TABLE returns a non-zero value. Otherwise, the function throws an exception on the first inconsistency that it finds.

For a consistent table, the following result is displayed:
