Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance

Checks the logical and physical integrity of all the objects in the specified database by performing the following operations:

Runs DBCC CHECKALLOC on the database.
Runs DBCC CHECKTABLE on every table and view in the database.
Runs DBCC CHECKCATALOG on the database.
Validates the contents of every indexed view in the database.
Validates link-level consistency between table metadata and file system directories and files when storing varbinary(max) data in the file system using FILESTREAM.
Validates the Service Broker data in the database.

This means that the DBCC CHECKALLOC, DBCC CHECKTABLE, or DBCC CHECKCATALOG commands don't have to be run separately from DBCC CHECKDB. For more detailed information about the checks that these commands perform, see the descriptions of these commands.

DBCC CHECKDB is supported on databases that contain memory-optimized tables but validation only occurs on disk-based tables. However, as part of database backup and recovery, a CHECKSUM validation is done for files in memory-optimized filegroups.

Since DBCC repair options aren't available for memory-optimized tables, you must back up your databases regularly and test the backups. If data integrity issues occur in a memory-optimized table, you must restore from the last known good backup.

        }
    ]
]

Arguments

database_name | database_id | 0

The name or ID of the database for which to run integrity checks. If not specified, or if 0 is specified, the current database is used. Database names must comply with the rules for identifiers.

NOINDEX

Specifies that intensive checks of nonclustered indexes for user tables aren't performed. This choice decreases the overall execution time. NOINDEX doesn't affect system tables because integrity checks are always performed on system table indexes.

REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS | REPAIR_FAST | REPAIR_REBUILD

Specifies that DBCC CHECKDB repairs the errors found. Use the REPAIR_* options only as a last resort. The specified database must be in single-user mode to use one of the following repair options.

REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

Tries to repair all reported errors. These repairs can cause some data loss.

Warning

The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option can result in more data loss than if you restore from a last known good backup. See Data loss warning with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

Microsoft always recommends a user restore from the last known good backup as the primary method to recover from errors reported by DBCC CHECKDB. The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option isn't an alternative for restoring from a known good backup. It's an emergency last resort option recommended for use only if restoring from a backup isn't possible.

Certain errors, which can only be repaired using the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option, might involve deallocating a row, page, or series of pages to clear the errors. Any deallocated data is no longer accessible or recoverable for the user, and the exact contents of the deallocated data can't be determined. Therefore, referential integrity might not be accurate after any rows or pages are deallocated because foreign key constraints aren't checked or maintained as part of this repair operation. The user must inspect the referential integrity of their database (using DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS) after using the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option.

Before performing the repair, you must create physical copies of the files that belong to this database. This includes the primary data file (.mdf), any secondary data files (.ndf), all transaction log files (.ldf), and other containers that form the database including full text catalogs, file stream folders, memory optimized data, and so on.

Before performing the repair, consider changing the state of the database to EMERGENCY mode and trying to extract as much information possible from the critical tables and save that data.
REPAIR_FAST

Maintains syntax for backward compatibility only. No repair actions are performed.
REPAIR_REBUILD

Performs repairs that have no possibility of data loss. This option might include quick repairs, such as repairing missing rows in nonclustered indexes, and more time-consuming repairs, such as rebuilding an index.

This argument doesn't repair errors involving FILESTREAM data.

Important

Since DBCC CHECKDB with any of the REPAIR_* options are completely logged and recoverable, Microsoft always recommends a user use DBCC CHECKDB with any REPAIR_* options within a transaction (execute BEGIN TRANSACTION before running the command) so that the user can confirm that they want to accept the results of the operation. Then the user can execute COMMIT TRANSACTION to commit all work done by the repair operation. If the user doesn't want to accept the results of the operation, they can execute a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION to undo the effects of the repair operations.

To repair errors, we recommend restoring from a backup. Repair operations don't consider any of the constraints that might exist on or between tables. If the specified table is involved in one or more constraints, we recommend running DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS after a repair operation. If you must use REPAIR_*, run DBCC CHECKDB without a repair option to find the repair level to use. If you use the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS level, we recommend that you back up the database before you run DBCC CHECKDB with this option.

ALL_ERRORMSGS

Displays all reported errors per object. All error messages are displayed by default. Specifying or omitting this option has no effect. Error messages are sorted by object ID, except for those messages generated from tempdb database.

EXTENDED_LOGICAL_CHECKS

If the compatibility level is 100, introduced in SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x), this option performs logical consistency checks on an indexed view, XML indexes, and spatial indexes, where present.

For more information, see Perform logical consistency checks on indexes later in this article.

NO_INFOMSGS

Suppresses all informational messages.

TABLOCK

Causes DBCC CHECKDB to obtain locks instead of using an internal database snapshot. This includes a short-term exclusive (X) lock on the database. TABLOCK causes DBCC CHECKDB to run faster on a database under heavy load, but decreases the concurrency available on the database while DBCC CHECKDB is running.

Important

TABLOCK limits the checks that are performed; DBCC CHECKCATALOG isn't run on the database, and Service Broker data isn't validated.

ESTIMATEONLY

Displays the estimated amount of tempdb space that is required to run DBCC CHECKDB with all the other specified options. The actual database check isn't performed.

PHYSICAL_ONLY

Limits the checking to the integrity of the physical structure of the page and record headers and the allocation consistency of the database. This check is designed to provide a small overhead check of the physical consistency of the database, but it can also detect torn pages, checksum failures, and common hardware failures that can compromise a user's data.

A full run of DBCC CHECKDB might take considerably longer to complete than earlier versions. This behavior occurs because:

The logical checks are more comprehensive.
Some of the underlying structures to be checked are more complex.
Many new checks have been introduced to include the new features.

Therefore, using the PHYSICAL_ONLY option might cause a much shorter run-time for DBCC CHECKDB on large databases and is recommended for frequent use on production systems. We still recommend that a full run of DBCC CHECKDB be performed periodically. The frequency of these runs depends on factors specific to individual businesses and production environments.

This argument always implies NO_INFOMSGS and isn't allowed with any one of the repair options.

Warning

Specifying PHYSICAL_ONLY causes DBCC CHECKDB to skip all checks of FILESTREAM data.

DATA_PURITY

Causes DBCC CHECKDB to check the database for column values that aren't valid or out-of-range. For example, DBCC CHECKDB detects columns with date and time values that are larger than or less than the acceptable range for the datetime data type; or decimal or approximate-numeric data type columns with scale or precision values that aren't valid.

Column-value integrity checks are enabled by default and don't require the DATA_PURITY option. For databases upgraded from earlier versions of SQL Server, column-value checks aren't enabled by default until DBCC CHECKDB WITH DATA_PURITY has been run error free on the database. After this, DBCC CHECKDB checks column-value integrity by default. For more information about how CHECKDB might be affected by upgrading database from earlier versions of SQL Server, see the Remarks section later in this article.

Warning

If PHYSICAL_ONLY is specified, column-integrity checks aren't performed.

Validation errors reported by this option can't be fixed by using DBCC repair options. For information about manually correcting these errors, see MSSQLSERVER_2570.

MAXDOP

Applies to: SQL Server 2014 (12.x) Service Pack 2 and later versions

Overrides the max degree of parallelism configuration option of sp_configure for the statement. The MAXDOP can exceed the value configured with sp_configure. If MAXDOP exceeds the value configured with Resource Governor, the SQL Server Database Engine uses the Resource Governor MAXDOP value, described in ALTER WORKLOAD GROUP. All semantic rules used with the max degree of parallelism configuration option are applicable when you use the MAXDOP query hint. For more information, see Server configuration: max degree of parallelism.

Warning

If MAXDOP is set to zero then SQL Server chooses the max degree of parallelism to use.

Remarks

DBCC CHECKDB doesn't examine disabled indexes. For more information about disabled indexes, see Disable indexes and constraints.

If a user-defined type is marked as being byte ordered, there must only be one serialization of the user-defined type. Not having a consistent serialization of byte-ordered user-defined types causes error 2537 when DBCC CHECKDB is run. For more information, see Creating User-Defined Types - Requirements.

Because the Resource database is modifiable only in single-user mode, the DBCC CHECKDB command can't be run on it directly. However, when DBCC CHECKDB is executed against the master database, a second CHECKDB is also run internally on the Resource database. This means that DBCC CHECKDB can return extra results. The command returns extra result sets when no options are set, or when either the PHYSICAL_ONLY or ESTIMATEONLY option is set.

In SQL Server 2005 (9.x) Service Pack 2 and later versions, executing DBCC CHECKDB no longer clears the plan cache for the instance of SQL Server. Before SQL Server 2005 (9.x) Service Pack 2, executing DBCC CHECKDB clears the plan cache. Clearing the plan cache causes recompilation of all later execution plans and might cause a sudden, temporary decrease in query performance.

Perform logical consistency checks on indexes

Logical consistency checking on indexes varies according to the compatibility level of the database, as follows:

If the compatibility level is at least 100 (introduced in SQL Server 2008 (10.0.x)):
Unless NOINDEX is specified, DBCC CHECKDB performs both physical and logical consistency checks on a single table and on all its nonclustered indexes. However, on XML indexes, spatial indexes, and indexed views only physical consistency checks are performed by default.
If WITH EXTENDED_LOGICAL_CHECKS is specified, logical checks are performed on an indexed view, XML indexes, and spatial indexes, where present. By default, physical consistency checks are performed before the logical consistency checks. If NOINDEX is also specified, only the logical checks are performed.

These logical consistency checks cross check the internal index table of the index object with the user table that it's referencing. To find outlying rows, an internal query is constructed to perform a full intersection of the internal and user tables. Running this query can have a significant effect on performance, and its progress can't be tracked. Therefore, we recommend that you specify WITH EXTENDED_LOGICAL_CHECKS only if you suspect index issues that are unrelated to physical corruption, or if page-level checksums have been turned off and you suspect column-level hardware corruption.

If the index is a filtered index, DBCC CHECKDB performs consistency checks to verify that the index entries satisfy the filter predicate.
If the compatibility level is 90 or less, unless NOINDEX is specified, DBCC CHECKDB performs both physical and logical consistency checks on a single table or indexed view and on all its nonclustered and XML indexes. Spatial indexes aren't supported.
In SQL Server 2016 (13.x) and later versions, additional checks on persisted computed columns, UDT columns, and filtered indexes don't run by default to avoid the expensive expression evaluations. This change greatly reduces the duration of CHECKDB against databases containing these objects. However, the physical consistency check of these objects is always completed. Only when EXTENDED_LOGICAL_CHECKS option is specified, are the expression evaluations performed, in addition to the logical checks that are already present as part of the EXTENDED_LOGICAL_CHECKS option (indexed view, XML indexes, and spatial indexes).

Internal database snapshot

DBCC CHECKDB uses an internal database snapshot for the transactional consistency needed to perform these checks. This prevents blocking and concurrency problems when these commands are executed. For more information, see View the Size of the Sparse File of a Database Snapshot and the DBCC internal database snapshot usage section in DBCC. If a snapshot can't be created, or TABLOCK is specified, DBCC CHECKDB acquires locks to obtain the required consistency. In this case, an exclusive database lock is required to perform the allocation checks, and shared table locks are required to perform the table checks.

DBCC CHECKDB fails when run against the master database if an internal database snapshot can't be created.

Running DBCC CHECKDB against tempdb doesn't perform any allocation or catalog checks and must acquire shared table locks to perform table checks. This is because, for performance reasons, database snapshots aren't available on tempdb. This means that the required transactional consistency can't be obtained.

How DBCC CHECKDB creates an internal snapshot database beginning with SQL Server 2014

DBCC CHECKDB creates an internal snapshot database.
The internal snapshot database is created by using physical files. For example, for a database with database_id = 10 that has three files E:\Data\my_DB.mdf, E:\Data\my_DB.ndf, and E:\Data\my_DB.ldf, the internal snapshot database is created using E:\Data\my_DB.mdf_MSSQL_DBCC11 and E:\Data\my_DB.ndf_MSSQL_DBCC11 files. The database_id of the snapshot is database_id + 1. Also note that the new files are created in the same folder using the naming convention <filename.extension>_MSSQL_DBCC<database_id_of_snapshot>. No sparse file is created for the transaction log.
The new files are marked as sparse files at the file system level. The Size on Disk used by the new files increases based on how much data is updated in the source database during the DBCC CHECKDB command. The Size of the new files is the same file as the .mdf or .ndf file.
The new files are deleted at the end of DBCC CHECKDB processing. These sparse files that are created by DBCC CHECKDB have the "Delete on Close" attributes set.

Warning

If the operating system encounters an unexpected shutdown while the DBCC CHECKDB command is in progress, then these files aren't cleaned up. They take up space, and can potentially cause failures on future DBCC CHECKDB executions. In that case, you can delete these new files after you confirm that there's no DBCC CHECKDB command currently being executed.

The new files are visible by using ordinary file utilities such as Windows Explorer.

Note

Prior to SQL Server 2014 (12.x), named file streams were used instead to create the internal snapshot files. The named file streams used the format <filename.extension>:MSSQL_DBCC<database_id_of_snapshot>. Named file streams aren't visible by using ordinary file utilities such as Windows Explorer. Therefore, in SQL Server 2012 (11.x) and earlier versions, you might encounter error messages 7926 and 5030 when you run the DBCC CHECKDB command for database files located on an ReFS-formatted volume. This is because file streams can't be created on Resilient File System (RefS).

Check and repair FILESTREAM data

When FILESTREAM is enabled for a database and table, you can optionally store varbinary(max) binary large objects (BLOBs) in the file system. When using DBCC CHECKDB on a database that stores BLOBs in the file system, DBCC checks link-level consistency between the file system and database.

For example, if a table contains a varbinary(max) column that uses the FILESTREAM attribute, DBCC CHECKDB checks that there's a one-to-one mapping between file system directories and files and table rows, columns, and column values. DBCC CHECKDB can repair corruption if you specify the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option. To repair FILESTREAM corruption, DBCC deletes any table rows that are missing file system data.

Best practices

We recommend that you use the PHYSICAL_ONLY option for frequent use on production systems. Using PHYSICAL_ONLY can greatly shorten run-time for DBCC CHECKDB on large databases. We also recommend that you periodically run DBCC CHECKDB with no options. How frequently you should perform these runs depends on individual businesses and their production environments.

On Azure SQL Managed Instance, the available storage space must accommodate the entire internal database snapshot file created by DBCC CHECKDB, regardless of how much of it is actually used by data. This can lead to a situation where executing DBCC CHECKDB on a very large but sparse database (the size of the data is much smaller than the database file size) fails due to lack of space on your SQL managed instance. If DBCC CHECKDB consumes all available storage space during execution, you receive the following error message:

Msg 1133, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The managed instance has reached its storage limit. To storage usage for the managed instance cannot exceed (...) MBs.
You might need to temporarily scale up your SQL managed instance storage capacity before running `DBCC CHECKDB` again.

Check objects in parallel

By default, DBCC CHECKDB performs parallel checking of objects. The degree of parallelism is automatically determined by the query processor. The maximum degree of parallelism is configured just like parallel queries. To restrict the maximum number of processors available for DBCC checking, use sp_configure. For more information, see Server configuration: max degree of parallelism. Parallel checking can be disabled by using Trace Flag 2528. For more information, see Trace Flags.

Note

This feature isn't available in every edition of SQL Server. For more information, see parallel consistency check in the RDBMS manageability section of Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2022.

Understand DBCC error messages

After the DBCC CHECKDB command finishes, a message is written to the SQL Server error log. If the DBCC command successfully executes, the message indicates success and the amount of time that the command ran. If the DBCC command stops before completing the check because of an error, the message indicates that the command was terminated, a state value, and the amount of time the command ran. The following table lists and describes the state values that can be included in the message.

State	Description
`0`	Error number 8930 was raised. This indicates a corruption in metadata that terminated the DBCC command.
`1`	Error number 8967 was raised. There was an internal DBCC error.
`2`	A failure occurred during emergency mode database repair.
`3`	This indicates a corruption in metadata that terminated the DBCC command.
`4`	An assert or access violation was detected.
`5`	An unknown error occurred that terminated the DBCC command.

SQL Server records the date and time when a consistency check was run for a database with no errors (or "clean" consistency check). This is known as the last known clean check. When a database is first started, this date is written to the EventLog (EventID-17573) and error log in the following format:

CHECKDB for database '<database>' finished without errors on 2022-05-05 18:08:22.803 (local time). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.

Error reporting

A stack dump (SQLDump<nnnn>.txt, SQLDump<nnnn>.log, SQLDump<nnnn>.mdmp) is created in the SQL Server LOG directory whenever DBCC CHECKDB detects a corruption error. When the Feature Usage data collection and Error Reporting features are enabled for the instance of SQL Server, the file is automatically forwarded to Microsoft. The collected data is used to improve SQL Server functionality. The dump file contains the results of the DBCC CHECKDB command and additional diagnostic output. Access is limited to the SQL Server service account and members of the sysadmin role. By default, the sysadmin role contains all members of the Windows BUILTIN\Administrators group and the local administrator's group. The DBCC command doesn't fail if the data collection process fails.

Resolve errors

If any errors are reported by DBCC CHECKDB, we recommend restoring the database from the database backup, instead of running DBCC CHECKDB with one of the REPAIR_* options. If no backup exists, running repair corrects the errors reported. The repair option to use is specified at the end of the list of reported errors. However, correcting the errors by using the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option might require deleting some pages, and therefore some data.

Under some circumstances, values might be entered into the database that aren't valid or out-of-range based on the data type of the column. DBCC CHECKDB can detect column values that aren't valid for all column data types. Therefore, running DBCC CHECKDB with the DATA_PURITY option on databases that have been upgraded from earlier versions of SQL Server might reveal preexisting column-value errors. Because SQL Server can't automatically repair these errors, the column value must be manually updated. If CHECKDB detects such an error, CHECKDB returns a warning, the error number 2570, and information to identify the affected row and manually correct the error.

The repair can be performed under a user transaction to let the user roll back the changes that were made. If repairs are rolled back, the database still contains errors and must be restored from a backup. After repairs are completed, back up the database.

Resolve errors in database emergency mode

When a database has been set to emergency mode by using the ALTER DATABASE statement, DBCC CHECKDB can perform some special repairs on the database if the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option is specified. These repairs might allow for ordinarily unrecoverable databases to be brought back online in a physically consistent state. These repairs should be used as a last resort and only when you can't restore the database from a backup. When the database is set to emergency mode, the database is marked READ_ONLY, logging is disabled, and access is limited to members of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Note

You can't run the DBCC CHECKDB command in emergency mode inside a user transaction and roll back the transaction after execution.

When the database is in emergency mode and DBCC CHECKDB with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS clause is run, the following actions are taken:

DBCC CHECKDB uses pages that have been marked inaccessible because of I/O or checksum errors, as if the errors haven't occurred. Doing this increases the chances for data recovery from the database.
DBCC CHECKDB attempts to recover the database using regular log-based recovery techniques.
If database recovery is unsuccessful because of transaction log corruption, the transaction log is rebuilt. Rebuilding the transaction log might result in the loss of transactional consistency.

Warning

The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option can result in more data loss than if you restore from a last known good backup. See Data loss warning with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

If the DBCC CHECKDB command succeeds, the database is in a physically consistent state, and the database status is set to ONLINE. However, the database might contain one or more transactional inconsistencies. We recommend that you run DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS to identify any business logic flaws and immediately back up the database.

If the DBCC CHECKDB command fails, the database can't be repaired.

Data loss warning with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option is a supported feature of SQL Server. However, it might not always be the best option for bringing a database to a physically consistent state. If successful, the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option can result in some data loss.

In fact, it can result in more data lost than if a user were to restore the database from the last known good backup. Microsoft always recommends a user restore from the last known good backup as the primary method to recover from errors reported by DBCC CHECKDB.

The REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option is not an alternative for restoring from a known good backup. It's an emergency last resort option recommended for use only if restoring from a backup is not possible.

After it rebuilds the log, there's no full ACID guarantee.

After it rebuilds the log, DBCC CHECKDB is automatically performed and both reports and corrects physical consistency issues.

Logical data consistency and business logic enforced constraints must be validated manually.

The transaction log size is left to its default size and must be manually adjusted back to its recent size.

Run DBCC CHECKDB with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS in replicated databases

Running the DBCC CHECKDB command with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option can affect user databases (publication and subscription databases) and the distribution database used by replication. Publication and subscription databases include published tables and replication metadata tables. Be aware of the following potential issues in these databases:

Published tables. Actions performed by the CHECKDB process to repair corrupt user data might not be replicated:
Merge replication uses triggers to track changes to published tables. If rows are inserted, updated, or deleted by the CHECKDB process, triggers don't fire; therefore, the change isn't replicated.
Transactional replication uses the transaction log to track changes to published tables. The Log Reader Agent then moves these changes to the distribution database. Some DBCC repairs, although logged, can't be replicated by the Log Reader Agent. For example, if a data page is deallocated by the CHECKDB process, the Log Reader Agent doesn't translate this deallocation to a DELETE statement; therefore, the change isn't replicated.
Replication metadata tables. Actions performed by the CHECKDB process to repair corrupt replication metadata tables require removing and reconfiguring replication.

If you have to run the DBCC CHECKDB command with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option on a user database or distribution database:

Quiesce the system: Stop activity on the database and at all other databases in the replication topology, and then try to synchronize all nodes. For more information, see Quiesce a Replication Topology (Replication Transact-SQL Programming).
Execute DBCC CHECKDB.
If the DBCC CHECKDB report includes repairs for any tables in the distribution database or any replication metadata tables in a user database, remove and reconfigure replication. For more information, see Disable Publishing and Distribution.
If the DBCC CHECKDB report includes repairs for any replicated tables, perform data validation to determine whether there are differences between the data in the publication and subscription databases.
