+ Checking and Maintaining Database Integrity + + + Over time it is possible for the Bugzilla database to become corrupt + or to have anomalies. + This could happen through normal usage of Bugzilla, manual database + administration outside of the Bugzilla user interface, or from some + other unexpected event. Bugzilla includes a "Sanity Check" script that + can perform several basic database checks, and repair certain problems or + inconsistencies. + + + To run the "Sanity Check" script, log in as an Administrator and click the + "Sanity Check" link in the footer. Any problems that are found will be + displayed in red letters. If the script is capable of fixing a problem, + it will present a link to initiate the fix. If the script can not + fix the problem it will require manual database administration or recovery. + + + The "Sanity Check" script should be run on a regular basis as a matter of + best practice. + + + + The "Sanity Check" script is no substitute for a competent database + administrator. It is only designed to check and repair basic database + problems. + + + +
