Hi all
I testing out DBCC CheckDB on my local machine however when I run it using the simple command
DBCC CheckDB ('myDB')
I don't get any messages in the windows event viewer. Do I need to provide some parameters or does it only log error messages?
I will also want to be able to alert on these messages. One way I have read is to create a job to write to a logfile, then when an error is generated this apparently fails the job on which I can then alert.
Thanks

When you run CHECKDB without any parameters (see here for list) you should get informational messages for each step in the process in the messages tab of SSMS. Something like:
DBCC results for 'sys.sysrowsetcolumns'.
There are 693 rows in 7 pages for object "sys.sysrowsetcolumns".
You should also get a message in the Windows Application Log like this:
Event Type:Information
Event Source:MSSQLSERVER
Event Category:(2)
Event ID:8957
Date:1/22/2010
Time:9:36:39 AM
User:domain\user_name
Computer:ComputerName
Description:
DBCC CHECKDB (master) executed by found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors. Elapsed time: 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds.
