Validating a database verifies the accuracy of the table metadata and ensures the file has not been corrupted.
The validation includes:
Database pages
Validate all database pages, using checksums when enabled. Note that certain critical pages always have checksums and
even pages without checksums undergo a basic validity check.
Tables
Validate table(s) by checking that the table row count matches the count in each index.
Indexes
Validate indexes by checking that entries refer to valid rows. ulvalid -e performs an express check, which includes
only table validation.
