Magento Database Repair Tool

Varien have just released a new tool to help repair Magento databases. The system works by taking a reference database (a clean installation of the same Magento version your store is running) and comparing this to your live store DB.

It then goes through and repairs your store DB, fixing things like missing foreign keys etc.

I haven’t personally seen a requirement for this as yet, but if they have gone to the effort of releasing a tool I imagine it is because there is a requirement for this kind of tool. Definitely something to bear in mind if you ever do need to repair an Existing Magento database.
