What is a torn page in SQL Server ?

Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Data pages are 8 kilobytes (KB) in size, but SQL Server divides a page into 16 blocks of 512 bytes apiece when performing write operations. If SQL Server begins writing blocks on a page and the disk system fails in the middle of the write process, only a portion of the page is written successfully, producing a problem called a torn page.
