Re: encrypting stored procedure



Never used DBCC? You should!

That's the be-all end-all command for managing the integrity of your
Sybase databases. All sorts of stuff is checked, depending on which
"flavor" of DBCC you choose to run. I would venture to guess that most
DBAs go for "dbcc checkstorage," but it requires a small amount of
setup. If you don't like that, probably "dbcc checkdb" could do well
too. If you have a fairly active database, do a DBCC on it often. As
your DB gets bigger and the checks get longer, you may want to make
them less frequent.

DBCC mainly makes sure that your indexes and pages are in proper order.
That's a lifesaver!

HTH,

Ive hunted through master.dat (from a test database) with a
hexeditor....

Never having used dbcc, what will it do for me?

Thanks
