nice - not sure it's got too many practical implementations other than showing a junior how to run and correct checkdb, but it's still nice to have in your arsenal

Hi Michael, as the article mentions it's ideal for testing DBCC scripts against and also for practising dealing with a corrupt database.
It also gives you an idea of what the data pages actually look like to

Thanks - this would be a nice test for a practical interview if hiring for a DBA. Corrupt a bunch of things in advance and show the interviewee the DBCC CHECKDB results and see how many of them he/she can fix in 15 minutes.

Really enjoyed the article. Thanks. Great demo for my advanced training labs. Have done this in Oracle several times and is interesting to see how SQL server pages map out by comparison. There are many more control fields in Oracle but the design drivers are exactly the same - how do you delploy object data into linear records in an ordinary file - and then how do you find that data. /BW/ PS. screwed up the feedback - sorry. Meant to be 5 stars, Idiot!

this is really good stuff. thank you.
btw, this is also good for using to test a database mirror. i had to create a broken db once for testing failover.

Thank you for your feedback.

Maybe but it could be taken beyond just knowing to run DBCC commands. Back around 1999-2000 I had an issue similar to this but it would cause a query to fail and disconnect the session and of course, checkdb did fix it. The real challenge came when I was tasked with a root cause analysis. I thought by fixing it I was free and could move on. Not so, my boss wanted to know the how and why it happened. So perhaps this script and information are useful in that they could be helpful in developing investigative techniques.
Cheers

Nice and simple. Thanks.
Usually beginners comes on forum to find solution from experts and sometimes things are not meant for experts as such. However experts correction and appreciation makes them feel part of community.
Good work.
Cheers.

I loved this article. Very interesting to some of us who are learning the SQL Server internals and need to simulate disaster recovery.
