Eitan Blumin eats the elephant:
Traditional database integrity checks in SQL Server can be time-consuming and resource-intensive, especially for large databases, even when using super cool tools like Ola Hallengren’s maintenance solution.
To address this challenge, I developed a TSQL script for performing incremental integrity checks, which significantly optimizes the process and reduces its impact on the server.
Click through for that script and notes from Eitan.
I’ll also shill for Minion CheckDB whenever I can. I was an early beta tester for the product and it was designed specifically for dealing with large databases.
