First, you'll cover the most basic commands and the informational commands--when to use them and how, in order to minimize impact on the solution. Next, you'll learn about the maintenance commands and how to recognize when a DBCC command has been superceded by a Dynamic Management Object, along with examples of how to use them. Finally, you'll learn about undocumented DBCC commands and go through scenarios on when to use them.
