Check Attachments

In this example there are 4765 rows in the attachment table and there are 8660 files in the C:\IMSMAng\server\attachments folder.

1. Open the Command window and navigate to C:\IMSMAng\server\attachments folder.

   

2. List the file names with the command dir /b > myfile.txt
3. Use Navicat and import the file myfile.txt to table test

   If needed delete the row with myfile.txt from the table test.

4. Add field guid to table test (varchar 38).

   

5. Now the field guid table test should be populated. The value is part of the file name and therefore the UPDATE query has to be run for each case.

   Example query

   UPDATE test
   SET
   guid = substring(f1 from (position('0a' in f1) ) for 37)
   WHERE
   (((( length(f1) - length(replace(f1, '.', ''))) = 4))) 
   AND
   left(substring(f1 from (position('0a' in f1) ) for 37),2) = '0a' AND
   substring(f1 from (position('0a' in f1) ) for 37) not like '%.%'
   AND guid is NULL
   

6. Then compare the tables attachment and test

   Found in both (in my example 2034)

   SELECT
   "public".attachment.filename,
   "public".test.f1
   FROM
   "public".attachment
   INNER JOIN "public".test ON "public".attachment.attachment_guid = "public".test.guid
   

   Missing in the folder (in my example 2731)

   SELECT
   "public".attachment.filename,
   "public".test.f1
   FROM
   "public".attachment
   LEFT JOIN "public".test ON "public".attachment.attachment_guid = "public".test.guid
   WHERE
   "public".test.guid IS NULL
   

   Missing in the table (in my example 6625)

   6625
