It is often possible to dump a database that is not consistent. The dbcc checkalloc, dbcc checkdb, dbcc checkcatalog, and dbcc checkstorage commands perform different tests of the database’s consistency; they are briefly described in the chapter, “Checking Database Consistency” in the Sybase Adaptive ServerTM Enterprise System Administration Guide.
