    Excellent code. Nice article. Well explained.

    But I have to say, articles like this really do make me nervous. It seems like a very healthy percentage of our fellow database professionals are missing a few fundamentals. Suggesting a way to avoid something as important as DBCC CHECKDB seems rife with potential for disaster. I'd just hate to hear "I was following your advice and now we've lost our production system."

    This.

    Also, the only way for DBCC CHECKDB to be faster is for Microsoft to fix tempdb so that DBAs can allocate filegroups to temporary storage on a per database (or perhaps even more granular) basis. A global tempdb database used for everything is simply the biggest design flaw in SQL Server today, period.
