My bad, I meant mysqlcheck. The script we currently have does use "CHECK
TABLE" and "REPAIR TABLE" commands however it must be modified when
databases and tables are added/deleted. By using mysqlcheck and the -A
option I can do all actions on all tables in all databases. By doing it
after hours I don't care how long it takes.
