New online course: Detecting and Correcting Database Corruption

My latest Pluralsight online training course went live today: SQL Server: Detecting and Correcting Database Corruption

It’s 4 hours long and is the first in a two-part series, with a more advanced course coming in a few weeks.

The modules in this course are:

Introduction
Causes of Database Corruption
Detecting Page Corruption
Consistency Checking
DBCC CHECKDB and Related Commands
Interpreting DBCC CHECKDB Output
Simple Restore Techniques
Simple Repair Techniques

You can get to the course here.

Pluralsight starts at US$29/month, for more than 80 hours of SQLskills SQL Server training (growing all the time) and more than 770 total developer and IT Pro courses (also growing all the time).

Enjoy!

Just fantastic. I thought I knew a good bit about corruption but like all of Paul’s courses, I learned an insane amount of applicable information. If you haven’t taken one of his pluralsight courses do yourself a favor and start today. How can you beat $30/month? This course is worth 10 times that. After you get through this one, his wait stats course is my favorite.

Hi, I’m following this course but I noticed that it’s quite old, from 2013; has much changed in DBCC in the latest versions (2016,19,22)? Thanks!

  No – it’s basically the same.
