Description.  This method validates the definition for a new table prior to its being created, and executes the Table::aggregate() method, as well as performing additional checks. validate() is called automatically when a table is created or retrieved. For this reason, it is usually not necessary to call aggregate() or validate() directly.

Signature. 

int validate
    (
      struct NdbError& error
    )

Parameters.  A reference to an NdbError object.

Return Value.  An integer, whose value is 0 on success, and -1 if the table is in an inconsistent state. In the latter case, the error is also set.
