PRC fileIt scans every record in the database looking for errors which indicate that corruption has occurred. For example, records that are out of position (all records are supposed to be in chronlogical order), or records that have invalid dates, or where a note field exceeds the maximum length. There are conduits that do cause problems on occasion, most often due to the presence of deleted records, and dbScan is the quick way to pinpoint the culprit without endless finger-pointing.
The latest version of dbScan now scans not only the DatebookDB, but also the other PalmSource PIM DBs (AddressDB, MemoDB, ToDoDB) as well as the palmOne proprietary DBs on such devices as the Treo 650 (ContactsDB, CalendarDB, MemosDB, TasksDB).
You do not need to have this installed at all times on your device, but if you are using some new software that modifies the datebook database and start to have problems, dbScan will prove to be invaluable.
(G): Quite simply, this kicks butt. What a great program. Thank you. 
KabukiAssassin: I know I have a corrupted database, but this doesn't catch it. isn't that what its SUPPOSED to do? still useful for other things though.
