Yes, I mean at run-time. Is there any way to know that my query will give an
inconsistent result because of an index corruption?

Sorry if was not clear, (my English doesn't help!!) I meant: how often is
recomended to do a *backup-restore circle* in order to purge the database and
reconstruc all its indices. I didn't know indices can broke in a database and
I'm a bit worried about that !! By the way when should I be worried about bad
indices? A PC crash can damage them? An electrical energy cut? a Hard disk full?

Thanks!!!
