how to find that the database is corrupt

Hi,

I am new to sqlserver. we are using sqlserver 6.5.
these is no dbcc checkdb,checkalloc has been ran on the database for more than a uear, and dbcc updateusage has been run daily. Still now no errors are seen on the errorlog. The database has been restored daily on a different server too.

How can we confirm that the database is good. Will the database show suspect if there is a single table gets corrupt.or the dbcc update usage will say that the table is corrupted.

Suppose if I run the checkdb and checkalloc on the server now (after a year), will there be a possibility of table corrupt seen and how can I handle the database in this situation.

It is very much appreciated if any of you clear my doubt.

Thanks,
newbee

Run

- DBCC CHECKATALOG( db )
- DBCC CHECKDB( db )
- DBCC NEWALLOC( db )
- DBCC TEXTALL( db )

from master and examine the output.
What you can/must do depends - probably nothing.
