    There's also a video recording of my Corruption Survival Techniqes session from TechEd Europe in 2008 which shows me doing all of this live on stage: TechEd: 80 minute video of Corruption Survival Techniques presentation

    This is the video I was referring to in my previous post that everyone should watch multiple times until you have all of the info in it committed to memory. I have watched it at least 5 times myself and the information in it is priceless. Paul also includes the corrupt dbs and code that he addresses in the video as well. One of the best videos out there on database corruption, bar none! Plus Paul goes much further, covers more errors, and in much more depth than this article covered. If you are a production DBA concerned with future database corruption then this video is a must see... It is a little on the lengthy side (80 minutes) but well worth the time put into watching it... It's like Paul says "Database corruption will happen to you sooner or later in your career" This video will go a long way to helping you prepare for it... 🙂
