Do you execute DBCC CHECKDB on your Azure SQL Database? From past experience I know some people do, I would suggest not to bother. Why?
If you know about DBCC CHECKDB then most likely you will know about DBCC CHECKTABLE. Quite simply this command performs primitive system-catalog consistency checks, per-table consistency checks on the single table specified, and cross-table consistency checks on indexed views that reference the specified table. (Page 899 Microsoft SQL Server Internals 2012, Chapter 14, Page 899, Paul Randal)
So I had a corruption issue and I was thinking about running repair but I wanted to know what would potentially get deleted.
Did you know that SQL Server tracks suspect pages and puts the details into the msdb database in a table called suspect_pages? Well it does, but the question I want answering is what happens if the page within the suspect pages table is fixed? Does it automatically get removed/updated or do we as the administrators have to do anything manually?
A quick video clip where I show two things.
Firstly I show how since SQL Server 2014 SP1+ the snapshot is no longer hidden then finally how I check that DBCC CHECKDB has ran successfully.
