What are then main reasons for doing this?
Eg, Power cuts / Dodgy disk?
There are lots of reasons, but keep in mind that corruption can only
happen when the disk is being written to. Some cases are
unintentional, such as head crashes or cosmic rays flipping bits, but
most are the result of programmatic writes. Minimizing those, through
the use of views and TABLEUPDATing only when necessary, can help
lessen the impact of bad network/ power/ disk situations.
