CHECKDB informational messages in the SQL 2005 ERRORLOG

  • I am running several SQL 2005 instances. When comparing the ERRORLOG of several different instances, I noticed that one instance's ERRORLOG contains messages similiar to the following when SQL Server is starting up and a new ERRORLOG is created.

    "CHECKDB for database 'msdb' finished without errors on 2007-04-19 00:00:05.317 (local time). This is an informational message only; no user action is required."

    To test, I ran a CHECKDB on my LiteSpeedLocal database at 2007-04-25 08:45:50.93. I then restarted the SQL Server Service and reviewed the newly created ERRORLOG. The ERRORLOG contained the following line:

    "2007-04-25 08:47:33.62 spid15s     CHECKDB for database 'LiteSpeedLocal' finished without errors on 2007-04-25 08:45:50.633 (local time). This is an informational message only; no user action is required."

    The log entry's timestamp is 2007-04-25 08:47:33.62, but it references the CHECKDB that was ran at 2007-04-25 08:45:50.93.

    I was curious if anyone had an idea as to why these CHECKDB informational messages were showing up in the ERRORLOG.

     

  • This is an informational message only. It indicates the last time when the checkdb was run and came out clean.

    I have seen this message when the database is going through recovery process.
