Paul Randal explains a long-standing bug in CHECKDB:
Continuing the database snapshot theme from the previous Curious Case post, I had another question from someone who was concerned about transactions rolling back during DBCC CHECKDB. They’d just noticed the messages in the error log saying that when DBCC CHECKDB was executed, it was causing transactions to roll back in the database – and how could that possibly be allowed to happen? They said they panicked and stopped all DBCC CHECKDB executions.
There’s no need to panic. The problem is actually a bug in the database snapshot code that’s been there since SQL Server 2005, where it reports the wrong database name.
Read on for a demo; it’s not a dangerous problem.
