.SH "NAME"
mysqlcheck \- a table maintenance program
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBmysqlcheck\ [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB]\ [\fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB\ [\fR\fB\fItbl_name\fR\fR\fB\ \&.\&.\&.]]\fR\ 'u
\fBmysqlcheck [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] [\fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fItbl_name\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.]]\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
client performs table maintenance: It checks, repairs, optimizes, or analyzes tables\&.
.PP
Each table is locked and therefore unavailable to other sessions while it is being processed, although for check operations, the table is locked with a
READ
lock only (see
Section\ \&13.3.5, \(lqLOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES Syntax\(rq, for more information about
READ
and
WRITE
locks)\&. Table maintenance operations can be time\-consuming, particularly for large tables\&. If you use the
\fB\-\-databases\fR
or
\fB\-\-all\-databases\fR
option to process all tables in one or more databases, an invocation of
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
might take a long time\&. (This is also true for
\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
because that program invokes
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
to check all tables and repair them if necessary\&.)
.PP
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
is similar in function to
\fBmyisamchk\fR, but works differently\&. The main operational difference is that
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
must be used when the
\fBmysqld\fR
server is running, whereas
\fBmyisamchk\fR
should be used when it is not\&. The benefit of using
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
is that you do not have to stop the server to perform table maintenance\&.
.PP
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
uses the SQL statements
CHECK TABLE,
REPAIR TABLE,
ANALYZE TABLE, and
OPTIMIZE TABLE
in a convenient way for the user\&. It determines which statements to use for the operation you want to perform, and then sends the statements to the server to be executed\&. For details about which storage engines each statement works with, see the descriptions for those statements in
Section\ \&13.7.2, \(lqTable Maintenance Statements\(rq\&.
.PP
The
MyISAM
storage engine supports all four maintenance operations, so
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
can be used to perform any of them on
MyISAM
tables\&. Other storage engines do not necessarily support all operations\&. In such cases, an error message is displayed\&. For example, if
test\&.t
is a
MEMORY
table, an attempt to check it produces this result:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmysqlcheck test t\fR
test\&.t
note : The storage engine for the table doesn\*(Aqt support check
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
If
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
is unable to repair a table, see
Section\ \&2.11.3, \(lqRebuilding or Repairing Tables or Indexes\(rq
for manual table repair strategies\&. This will be the case, for example, for
InnoDB
tables, which can be checked with
CHECK TABLE, but not repaired with
REPAIR TABLE\&.

.PP
It is best to make a backup of a table before performing a table repair operation; under some circumstances the operation might cause data loss\&. Possible causes include but are not limited to file system errors\&.
.sp .5v
.RE
.PP
There are three general ways to invoke
\fBmysqlcheck\fR:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
shell> \fBmysqlcheck [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB [\fR\fB\fItbl_name\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.]\fR
shell> \fBmysqlcheck [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \-\-databases \fR\fB\fIdb_name\fR\fR\fB \&.\&.\&.\fR
shell> \fBmysqlcheck [\fR\fB\fIoptions\fR\fR\fB] \-\-all\-databases\fR
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
If you do not name any tables following
\fIdb_name\fR
or if you use the
\fB\-\-databases\fR
or
\fB\-\-all\-databases\fR
option, entire databases are checked\&.
.PP
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
has a special feature compared to other client programs\&. The default behavior of checking tables (\fB\-\-check\fR) can be changed by renaming the binary\&. If you want to have a tool that repairs tables by default, you should just make a copy of
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
named
\fBmysqlrepair\fR, or make a symbolic link to
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
named
\fBmysqlrepair\fR\&. If you invoke
\fBmysqlrepair\fR, it repairs tables\&.
.PP
The names shown in the following table can be used to change
\fBmysqlcheck\fR
default behavior\&.
