Hi,

When a user runs the DBCC CHECKDB command you may get X consistency errors etc..

Can anyone explain an example of a DB consistency error
please, (I tried to google it with no success )

Thanks
U
 
A consistency error is usually caused by coruption within the actual mdf or ldf file.

The metadata within the file tells the SQL Server that the data it's looking for is located within block 14:234. However when SQL looks at block 14:234 the data isn't there or it isn't readable. You now have a consistency error.
