Nice question.
But I have one niggle :hehe:: you can't run that command against tempdb, because it is specifically acting of the database 'myDatabase' :laugh::crazy:; but it was absolutely obvious what you meant to ask so it's hard to see why so many people got that wrong :-P:laugh:. Unless of course they believe in being secure so that they normally log in as a user who doesn't have the permissions needed to run dbcc checdb against tempdb and think that QotD should be aimed at people who behave securely.
But anyway, any other choice for the second correct option was obviously wrong :w00t:, so even security lovers should have gotten it right.

And good point by you, Tom. Thanks for realizing the intention of the question and answers. I thought I finally had a rock solid question of the day!

Answered too quickly on this one. I knew it could be run against tempdb but ignored that for some reason. Had I thought about it for another second then I would have second guessed my other choices and actually read the entire MSDN article! Oh well, good question.

SQLRNNR (8/20/2014) For good measure, the document is nearly the same for SQL 2014 (other areas changed but those statements were not).

That helped, thx

Never used TABLOCK option with DBCC before, always using:

DBCC CHECKDB WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS, TABLERESULTS;

DBCC CHECKDB WITH PHYSICAL_ONLY; -- Best Practice

So I had to read the documentation carefully, then answered correctly, I am one of the luckiest 22%

I'd be a bit careful about calling Physical_Only a best practice. It is a check to be run on very busy systems with the full check to be run less often on that system. But the full check still has to be run on occasion somehow.
