I run CHECK commands against all tables nightly. Our dataset is
small, so it's quick easy; for large and/or static datasets daily
might be impractical. However, if you don't run CHECK regularly, you
don't know your data is good, and it's possible you might have
corruption for a long time

Given the commands like ANALYZE, OPTIMIZE and CHECK, what is the
preference order to execute these commands?
OPTIMIZE calculates statistics as it rebuilds the table, so there's no
need to run an ANALYZE pass after it. You shouldn't ever need to
