Saving DBCC Results

Wayne Sheffield shows how to save CHECKDB results to table:

Okay, let’s try this out. At the above BOL links, there are two DBCC commands that are documented to use the TABLERESULTS option: OPENTRAN and SHOWCONTIG. Testing all of the other DBCC commands shows that this option can also be used on the CHECKALLOC, CHECKDB, CHECKFILEGROUP and CHECKTABLE commands. I’m going to continue this post with using DBCC CHECKDB. If you check BOL, it does not mention the TABLERESULTS option.

As Wayne notes, you can do this for other DBCC commands as well.
