Stupid Oracle Documentation
Being an Oracle DBA, I get the pleasure of reading some very interesting product docmentation, evidently written by people who have a strong aversion to clear, concise English.
Today's example:
Oracle 8i Utilities Release 2 (8.1.6) A76955-02
DBVERIFY is an external command-line utility that performs a physical
data structure integrity check on an offline database. It can be used against backup files and online files (or pieces offiles).
?!
Do the files have to be offline or not? Your guess is as good as mine. Just another bonus to the Oracle DBA life-- creative documentation interpretation!
