    Are you sure about that Gail?

    Yes, absolutely, 100% certain

    Below is an extract from a SQL Server log at the time a database was recovered from a Restoring state. I can assure you that the CHECKDB shown was not run by anyone or a scheduled job.

    And I can assure you that checkDB wasn't run at all...

    Unknown,CHECKDB for database 'BrightTalk' finished without errors on 2012-06-25 01:00:04.770 (local time).

    In fact, that database has not had a consistency check run on it in over 2 years. I do hope it's a dev DB...
