I know I can execute a DBCC CHECKDB and get a status of my database.

Questions

  • How can I find if there is some corrupt data page into my database?
  • If an error is throwndue to page corruption, where can I find which pages are corrupt?
  • How can can I find out the page number of each corrupt page.

Can anybody can tell me where to find those page ids ?

I think that i found the table where the corrupt page id are stored. Can it be 'suspect_pages' of the MSDB database ? – Nico Mar 17 '11 at 0:31
yes there is a possiblity to have a msdb database corrupted pages. MSDB stores info about backups, restores, all jobs info. If SQL is forcebly stopped or another failure event occurs when a backup, restore or job is changing the data of some page - then this page can become corrupted. – yrushka Mar 22 '11 at 16:16
