CheckDB runs database integrity checks. Nothing else. It doesn't cause errors. It should be run regularly to make sure that things aren't broken.

Regardless, there's nothing to disable, checkDB runs when someone runs it or when a job runs it. It does not run automatically.

DBCC CHECKDB - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms176064%28v=SQL.90%29.aspx

As Gail mentioned, this doesn't cause errors.

Disabling it, even if allowed, doesn't make sense. Why would you not want to know about potential problems in the database?

I want disable dbcc checkdb because my database have 4TB, and then take long time for this commnad to end (around 16h hours).
We have many maintenance plans and jobs and in some cases is confuse for the operators.

Is posible disable?

Sure, find the job/maint plan that runs it and disable that job. CheckDB does not run automatically. There is a job or maintenance plan that runs it.

However, that is really bad practice and not a solution. You need to be running checkDB somehow so that you can detect corruption before it affects the users, before it becomes irreparable. For some ideas for checkDB on very large databases see - http://sqlskills.com/BLOGS/PAUL/post/CHECKDB-From-Every-Angle-Consistency-Checking-Options-for-a-VLDB.aspx

You need to run checkdb periodically. It is the only way you will detect corruption and the sooner you can detect it, the better.

If it's a burden on the primary server, then restore on a secondary server and run it there. If you don't have 4TB, consider purchasing Red Gate's Virtual Restore, and running it on a server that uses a virtual restore. You need to run checkdb.

dbcc checkdb runs on startup. This is an issue for any VLDB. It particularly is bad for mirroring and cluster failovers.

Not that I am aware of.

Cool

Check your log file.

I have, not a peep. Haven't seen DBCC CHECKDB run on any of my servers without me running it, and I have been working with SQL Server for 15 years.

Cool
