11TITLE           Re-repair database
12
13OCCURRENCE      ARB/Tools/DB admin/Re-repair DB
14
15DESCRIPTION     At startup ARB runs several checks about known database problems.
16
17                  These are problems that were caused by buggy ARB versions and may have
18                  caused specific incorrect data in your database.
19
20                Normally it is enough to run each check once, repair the problem if it gets
21                detected and remember, that the problem has been
22                checked (that's how it works behind the scenes).
23
24                  Problems arise if such a "repaired database" is loaded again into an older, still
25                  buggy ARB-installation, which then again may break already fixed data.
26                  Afterwards your newer ARB-installation will assume things are already fixed and
27                  fine, while the opposite is true.
28
29                  Such a scenario might happen e.g. if you give a database to a colleague who does some
30                  modifications and then brings the database back to you.
31
32                In doubt call the function described here. It will re-run all available checks
33                and again attempt to repair all detected problems.
34
35NOTES           Most checks report whether problems are detected and if they get fixed.
36
37                If you get such reports after the scenario above, please
38                encourage your colleague to update to a newer ARB version ;-)
