    Hi,

    I'm using DBCC Page to investigate data on specific pages. My question is: Does DBCC Page show pages that are in the cache, or pages on disk, or both please?

    Thanks

    It can read any page that is in the database. Like with all other operations that read pages, it will read the page from cache. If the page isn't in cache, it's brought into cache first and then read.

    That makes sense, thanks for your help.
