      public static boolean checkTable(String schemaName, String tableName) throws SQLException
      Check the named table, ensuring that all of its indexes are consistent with the base table. Use this method only within an SQL-J statement; do not call it directly.

      When tables are consistent, the method returns true. Otherwise, the method throws an exception.

      To check the consistency of a single table:

      VALUES ConsistencyChecker::checkTable(SchemaName, TableName)

      For example, to check the consistency of the table APP.Flights:

      VALUES ConsistencyChecker::checkTable('APP', 'FLIGHTS')

      To check the consistency of all of the tables in the 'APP' schema, stopping at the first failure:

      SELECT tablename, ConsistencyChecker::checkTable(
      'APP', tablename)
      FROM sys.sysschemas s, sys.systables t WHERE s.schemaname = 'APP' AND s.schemaid = t.schemaid

      To check the consistency of an entire database, stopping at the first failure:

      SELECT schemaname, tablename,
      ConsistencyChecker::checkTable(schemaname, tablename)
      FROM sys.sysschemas s, sys.systables t
      WHERE s.schemaid = t.schemaid

      Parameters:
      schemaName - The schema name of the table.
      tableName - The name of the table
      Returns:
      true, if the table is consistent, exception thrown if inconsistent
      Throws:
      SQLException - Thrown if some inconsistency is found, or if some unexpected exception is thrown..
