A lot of numbers that we use everyday such as Bank Card numbers, Identification numbers, and ISBN codes, have check digits. As part of the routine data cleansing of such codes we must check that the code is valid- but do we?

It's not a table : run this in the master table Select objectproperty(object_id('sysperfinfo'), 'TableIsFake') It will return 1. This means than when you query that table, Sql server meterializes it so that the query can execute, but this information is never actually kept on the hd like a real table. checks BOLS : objectproperty::TableIsFake
