Database Corruption Presentation - preparation

On February 17, 2021 at 6:00pm Pacific time Derrick Bovenkamp and I will be presenting a webcast training on SQL Server Database Corruption. After repairing dozens of corrupt databases over the last 6 years we are going to share our experiences. Some of the good, the bad, and the ugly of corrupt databases. What things people did to make it worse, and what people did to make things better.

This will be more of an introduction, and what you should doing to reduce the impact if your are hit with corruption, rather than the in depth how to repair it.
