To turn the question around, how many of you have seen corruption in your SQL Server databases ?
Knock on Wood SQL Server has been pretty stable for our usage.

subject: How the SQL Server World Lives
One of the newsletters I subscribe to is

A recent article, "My SQL Server Database is Corrupt - Now What?!", had some interesting statements from the author:
. I was asked how often corruption really occurs in the real world.
My answer was, "hundreds to thousands of times every week across the world, in the tens of millions of SQL Server databases.".
. Every single week I receive multiple emails asking for some advice
about corruption recovery. When I'm teaching about corruption in our High Availability and Disaster Recovery Immersion Event, I always tell the class that I expect every DBA to see database corruption at some point during their career.
. I'll end by saying this: if you think that corruption won't happen
to you at some point in your career, I think you'll be surprised. Be prepared!
I'm curious.. How many of you have seen corruption on our platform? In 25+ years on S/38, AS/400, and IBM-i, I have NEVER had an issue with corrupt files/tables. In 1 year of SQL Server at my former employer, I saw it happen at least 3 times. I was shocked but the Microsoft bigots in the company just shook it off as status quo.
Here's the article but you have to be a member to read it.
