Checksum_Only
Specify with the Areas qualifier to perform only checksum
verification of pages. This reduces the degree of verification
done on a database page. While the RMU Verify command executes
faster with the Checksum_Only qualifier than without it, it does
not verify pages completely. This qualifier allows you to make
trade-offs between speed of verification and thoroughness of
verification. For more information on these trade-offs, see the
Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Maintenance.
If this command finds a problem with a certain page, then that
page can be verified in depth by using other qualifiers, such as
Indexes, Areas, or Lareas.
Note that you can accomplish the same degree of verification
during a backup operation by specifying the Checksum qualifier
with the RMU Backup command. The advantage of specifying the
Checksum qualifier with the RMU Backup command is that the
checksum operation takes place concurrently with the backup
operation.
See the Usage Notes entry in this command for the rules that
determine which qualifiers can be used in combination on the same
RMU Verify command line.
The default is for full verification of pages.
