Quick Scan Report – User Tables in MSDB

User tables in the msdb database.

It is generally considered bad form to create user tables in the msdb (or master) database. Occasionally someone has an idea that it would be a good thing to add their own table to the msdb database. This may go undetected for years, until you need to move to a new SQL Server, you move all your databases, and things that rely on that table in msdb end up breaking.
