  • Yep, I was 100% sure on this one - after all. I've always known what it stood for .

    And .. I .. was .. 100% wrong! :ermm:

    Thanks, Steve

    I was originally taught it was Consistency Checker... more recently I've seen Console Command, which immediately made more sense to me.
    Still, I nearly answered Consistency before changing my mind ๐Ÿ™‚

    Me too! As soon as I saw that I was wrong, I remembered DBCC OPENTRAN which is not about DB consistency checks lol.

    A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and asks, "Can I join you?"

  • Interesting, yes.  If you had asked what DBCC originally stood for, the answer would be different from what it stands for now.

    Even on this site it was once referred to as Consistency Checker.  I took Sybase internals classes many years ago, System 10 and System 11.  Also worked with MS SQL Server since it was released on OS/2.  So I was pretty sure of my answer but I am more of a database developer now than a DBA, so I hadn't had much opportunity (nor permissions) to use it anymore and was not aware of the re-definition.
