notes on the use of rddbcheck
This is a really handy routine for sorting through your database and
identifying errors
best to run it first with no options and see what it picks up
options
--user=
may be the user for db if user is not root. No it defaults
to "user" which is the Rivendell user.
--yes
answer yes to every question USE WITH CARE
--no
answer no to every question obviously mutually exclusive
with --yes
--orphan-group=
group to put orphaned carts in GROUPS no longer in DB
--dump-cuts-dir=
place to put audio cuts that are in /var/snd but don't have
any entries in the database.
Over time entries get corrupted and this check picks up errors and helps
you make decisions. My DB is more then 10 years old.
I was amazed at the number of errors that had accumulated over that
time. In my case possibly because I have a number of client processes
polling the database to update remote sites and the odd scrap over who
goes first may have helped create the orphans it found.
