Programmaticly check DB

Hi,
I want to write a job that will check for DB errors (as in dbcc checkdb) and
will operate if errors exists.
Is there a way to extract errors returned by dbcc checkdb?Have you consider setting up a DB Maintenance plan..? If you use the
Database Maintenance Plan Wizard you get the option to fix any errors the
checking finds. This can be scheduled to run as a job

mode though, even when it doesn't have to repair anything. That can cause
quite some problems. I prefer to have dbcc checkdb run as a job and check if
the job runs as expected and act when something goes wrong. At least then I
know if something goes wrong, which might indicate an underlying problem,
rather than have problems repaired automatically.
