  • Why do you set TORN_PAGE_DETECTION OFF for SQL 2005 servers?

    Is this intentional?

    SET @sqlstring = @sqlstring + ', TORN_PAGE_DETECTION OFF, PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM'

  • I think I figured it out.

    In SQL Server 2005, there is a new option called Page_Verify. In earlier versions of SQL Server, it was known as TORN_PAGE_DETECTION.

    Please verify.

  • The routine sets Page Verify to CHECKSUM for SQL Server 2005. This is a more thorough method of detecting possible corruption than the Torn Page detection.

    The options for Torn Page and Checksum are mutualy exclusive, so the routine explicitly turns off the old method and turns on the new and better method of checking for corruption.
