namely all the rows on the damaged page. But it allows you to get
past the error and retrieve rows from any undamaged pages that may
be present in the table. So it is useful for recovering data if
corruption has occurred due to hardware or software error. You should
generally not set this on until you have given up hope of recovering
data from the damaged page(s) of a table. The
default setting is <TT

by a superuser.
