DBCC CheckDB Question

Is there anyway I can programmatically determine if DBCC CheckDB has found any errors? When I run this command in Management Studio it simply returns a slew of messages. What I would like to do is to create a stored proc that executes this command, somehow determine if any errors were found, and then notify the appropriate person for follow-up. I am at a loss to know how to programmicatically determine if DBCC CheckDB encountered any errors during its run.

Thanks for your help.

A few different things - in the automated routine you are using, you can save the output to a file and search for the errors with a tool like findstr. Or import the file into a table and search for errors in the table. Or create a table that will use DBCC CHECKDB WITH TABLERESULTS, so an insert into that table, along the lines of:

Insert Into YourCheckDBTableResults
Exec ('dbcc checkdb with tableresults')
And then check the table you are storing the results in.
