SAPDBA: Check (and Repair) Database

The task of the SAPDBA recovery function is to remedy certain media and user errors. When such an error occurs, it usually involves the loss of database files, which can contain many different types of objects: ORACLE Dictionary segments, temporary segments, rollback segments, or user segments (tables and indexes).
