Menu

Run DBRepair with no arguments to enter the interactive menu.

At the Enter command # -or- command name (4 char min) : prompt, you may enter:

• The command's menu number (e.g. 5), or
• The command's full name or its abbreviated short form (e.g. repair or repa).

Text commands are case-insensitive. Most commands can be abbreviated to their first 4 characters; config is the exception and requires the full word (6 characters) — see Option 90 for details. prune also accepts the synonyms remove and purge (see Option 21).

You can also type menu off / menu no to suppress the menu redisplay between commands (useful when typing several commands in a row), and menu on / menu yes to restore it.

• Automatic (2) - Intelligent stop, check, repair/optimize, resume as needed.
