What you'll learn
There are many DBCC commands available to database administrators and developers. Some are for the greater good; others can wreak havoc in a production environment. In this course, SQL Server: Understanding and Using DBCC Commands, you'll explore DBCC commands that are useful and relevant, whether you're a DBA or a developer (this course is for SQL Server 2005 and up). First, you'll cover the most basic commands and the informational commands--when to use them and how, in order to minimize impact on the solution. Next, you'll learn about the maintenance commands and how to recognize when a DBCC command has been superceded by a Dynamic Management Object, along with examples of how to use them. Finally, you'll learn about undocumented DBCC commands and go through scenarios on when to use them. By the time you're done, you'll have a greater understanding of DBCC commands and you'll be able to use those commands to optimize your environment.
