CHECK BLOB CHECKSUM

CHECK BLOB CHECKSUM checks for and displays columnstore blob file corruptions. Applies to the blobs in local disk and local blob cache.

Syntax

CHECK BLOB CHECKSUM [WITH REPAIR[FORCE]];

Arguments

  • The WITH REPAIR FORCE option deletes the metadata for the corrupt blob. While this will allow the table to be queried, it will also result in data loss.

Example

This is a simple use showing how the output of CHECK BLOB CHECKSUM displays corruption in columnstore blob files.

CHECK BLOB CHECKSUM;
