Paul Randal has been writing an excellent series

on how DBCC CHECKDB works
within SQL Server.

Explaining how SQL Server 2000 and 2005

present a consistent view of the data
for checking and why that is
important. Paul moves onto

what


CHECKDB


really


does
and then [story:sqlserver2005-dbcc-for-vldb].


Paul Randal
worked as the Lead Developer / Manager for a team working on the
SQL Server Storage Engine responsible for DBCC.
