Large databases often face issues with prolonged integrity check times (DBCC CHECKDB), leading to potential downtime and/or performance degradation. Full integrity checks, while thorough, are not always feasible on a regular basis due to their impact on system resources.
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.
