That’s not what I recall; it was clearly used against it in sales pitches. Do you really want to trust a database that
requiresyou to DBCC checkdb periodically and fix corruption data pages or do you want to trust Oracle with data?
Would you use a filesystem today that required you to fsck after a crash?
Sure DBCC has useful features like tracing, etc. — it’s not just for corruption.
