inspect check database vs. db2dart

[aj]

What is the difference (if any) between
inspect check database
and
db2dart
???

Do they both find the same potential problems? Does one
provide more comprehensive checking than the other?

TIA

Re: inspect check database vs. db2dart

Major difference is that inspect does not require deactivating the db which
db2dart does.
Another is that inspect cannot do any repair work which db2dart does.

Other is that because inspect checks the physical integrity of the db its
command structure is more detailed (do a db2 ? inspect and look ) and more
precise to specify and filter what to inspect.
Inspect also creates a binary formatted file which has to be formatted with
the propr command (db2inspf I think).

This is just a quick reply. If you Google each (inspect and/or db2dart)
you'll get all the info you need.
