This parameter is designed to run compare with the 'quickcheck' option by default.
To do so, set the parameter to 1.
sp_ctrl> set param SP_DEQ_QUICK_COMPARE_DEFAULT 1
Henceforth all compare executions will run as if they were issued with the 'quickcheck' option.
Note that the parameter only affects compare as there is no 'quickcheck' option with repair.
The 'quickcheck' option only allows a compare to run for as long as there is no out of sync discovered.
And if and when an out of sync is encountered then compare will stop at that moment.
The main use is to determine if the table is in sync or not and to collect details of the out of sync, if any.
The default for this parameter is 0, which would render compare not to use 'quickcheck' option.
