								The

| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								.PP
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Each table is locked and therefore unavailable to other sessions while it is being processed, although for check operations, the table is locked with a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								READ
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								lock only (see
							 | 
						||
|

								Section\ \&13.3.5, \(lqLOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES Syntax\(rq, for more information about
							 |

|

| 
								 | 
							
								and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								WRITE
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								locks)\&. Table maintenance operations can be time\-consuming, particularly for large tables\&. If you use the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fB\-\-databases\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								or
							 | 
						||

								 | 
							
								\fB\-\-all\-databases\fR

								option to process all tables in one or more databases, an invocation of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								might take a long time\&. (This is also true for
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysql_upgrade\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								because that program invokes
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								to check all tables and repair them if necessary\&.)

								 | 
							
								.PP
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is similar in function to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmyisamchk\fR, but works differently\&. The main operational difference is that
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								must be used when the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqld\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								server is running, whereas
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmyisamchk\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								should be used when it is not\&. The benefit of using
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								is that you do not have to stop the server to perform table maintenance\&.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								.PP
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								\fBmysqlcheck\fR
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								uses the SQL statements
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								CHECK TABLE,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								REPAIR TABLE,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								ANALYZE TABLE, and
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								OPTIMIZE TABLE
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								in a convenient way for the user\&. It determines which statements to use for the operation you want to perform, and then sends the statements to the server to be executed\&. For details about which storage engines each statement works with, see the descriptions for those statements in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Section\ \&13.7.2, \(lqTable Maintenance Statements\(rq\&.

								The
