most important DBCC commands?

  • Hi

    what are most important DBCC commands that a DBA must run at every night jobs?

    (DBCC checkDB is enough?)

  • None.

    Nightly may to be too frequent for integrity checks, unless you only keep your backups for 1 day. It's certainly not something that has to be run every day.

    As for DBCC statements in general, have a read through the list of documented ones and see what they do.

  • I read It.

    the most important and repeatedly Advise is :

    Dont use Repair option (If you have Backup). because ....

    The impression from this recommendation can be

    1- I must run only DBCC checkDB 'DBName' about once a week. (without option)

    this command cover most of the validation DBCc commands. (This is ok.)

    2- I must check the report of this Command. (ok.)

    But I dont know What do I do, If :

    3- I Found some error on DBCC report. In microsoft text, recommanded restore backup and dont use repair, If you have backup.

    If I read the error on 10 oclock, I should restore database ? restore to which time?

    1. The standard database consistency check command of Checkdb runs both logical and physical checks across the database files and inside the database.

    2. Yes. Otherwise, why run it.

    3. Assuming you're also taking log backups, restore to a point in time prior to the corruption of your database.
