Every once in a while one the DB on SQL Server 2000 goes suspect. I was thinking it was because there was no back up plan. The problem is usually resolved after a simple start and stop of the SQL Server Agents. Anyone have similar situations that could shed some light?
Thanks

Hi
I want to suspect database
stop server first
I try to rename C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatamsdbdata.mdf to msdbdata.sav
and then start the server
use command to check:
SELECT status & 256 FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = database_name
if the result is 256,it means the msdb is suspect,but the result is 0,it same as the normal status
do you know how to set database suspect with this way, or do you know other way to suspect databse.
absolutely,I could re-back my server noraml with your way
Thanks
One of my database (name XYZ) shows suspect status in EM but when i try to dig further by running below query i get only "OK" ( see query)
SELECT [name],status, case status when (status & 32) then 'Loading'
when (status & 32) then 'Loading'
when (status & 64) then 'Pre Recovery'
when (status & 128) then 'Recovering'
when (status & 256) then 'Not recoverd'
when (status & 512) then ' Offline'
when (status & 1024) then ' Single user'
when (status & 1024) then ' Read only'
when (status & 32768) then ' Emergency Mode' else 'OK' end as status
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE [name] NOT IN ('distribution', 'tempdb', 'model','Pubs','Northwind')
also i run this
select * from sysdatabases where databaseproperty(name,N'IsSuspect') <> 1
and here also i get all the database including "XYZ"...i guess if "XYZ" is suspect the resultset should not be including "XYZ"
Why if the EM shows suspect status FOR "XYZ" DATABASE it should come up when i check status column in sysdatabases table?
Hi all,
What does this mean? SUSPECT, in SQL server 7? I dont remember what caused one of my database to be SUSPECTed. Can someone let me informed what causes a database to be SUSPECT and what are its implications and how to make the SUSPECTed database work
Thanx in advance

I had a database (give it a name A) that was marked suspect. I ran the following query
use master
go
sp_resetstatus <db_name>
I then stopped and restarted SQL Server. This fixed the problem for database A but I got two more that were suspect. After running the same query for both B & C, C got fixed but I still cannot fix B. My question is why did fixing problem A cause a problem for DB B & C?
I tried running the following query on B after the first one failed.
Update sysdatabases set status = -32768 where name='B'
This gave me the following error: Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not enabled. The system administrator must reconfigure SQL Server to allow this.
Could somebody please help me solve this problem?
One of my database mark as suspect and resetstaus did not work. From the SQL server error log i find following message. Any suggestion?

I have a db in suspect. I want to try to run sp_reset_status and reset the status bit. I believe there is a script that I can run to create sp_reset_status. Where can I find that?
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
One of my DB got into SUSPECT mode.
I tried "sp_resetstatus" procedure. But it says, the following mesg,
"
Prior to updating sysdatabases entry for database 'DELPHI3', mode = 0 and status = 1077936141 (status suspect_bit = 0).
No row in sysdatabases was updated because mode and status are already correctly reset. No error and no changes made.

Hi everyone,
I really need help on this, one of my databases is marked suspect. I did tried to execute this command below (scripts):
use master
go
sp_configure 'allow updates',1
go
reconfigure with override
go
update sysdatabases set status=4 where name='security'
go
sp_configure 'allow updates',0
go
reconfigure with override
go
and it release the suspect from the 'Security' database, but it Won't let me access the table,data or nothing. The worse thing is when I stop & start the server again, the database marked suspect again.
Could anybody out the help me on this. Thank in advance, Vu
Hello,
Today we found a suspect database and after consulting this website went and ran sp_resetstatus on one database with success. After which we stopped and started the server and ran dbcc newalloc, dbcc textall, dbcc checkdb on that database. It successfully changed from its suspect status and random queries showed that the data was still intact.
Exactly the same process was run on another database and it failed to move from the suspect status after restarting the server. We then went through books online, which advised to update sysdatabases setting the database's status to 0. This also failed.
HELP PLEASE.
Does anyone know what else to try? This was a development database with no backups. This would save a weeks work. Thanks for you time.
Cheers
Damian
steps to recovery suspect database
Log showed a 614 error and probably is a result of a hardware 0/s problem or ?. The database was not
reloaded before the error.
I was recently was called in to help some people who had a SQL Server database marked as suspect.
I have never had to deal with this situation before. I got the database operational by doing the
following steps. Was there an easier or better way?
Executed statement per BOL procedure to allow updates to system tables.
Removed suspect flag per BOL (BOL says to use sp_resetstatus which I did not find in master or msdb,
however the BOL had the code listed so I typed in the pertinent statement). I do not know what the '^ 256
meant in BOL, I used the status code that the nonsuspect databases had '16400'.
SQL Server would not let me restore into a suspect database so I reset the suspect flag. Could have dropped
the database, however I did not have the information to recreate the database so the restore function would
work.
Put database in single user mode.
restored database.
Removed the ability to update system tables per BOL
Set the database back to multi user mode.
I am using SQL server 6.5 sp3 and NT 4.0 sp4.
My SMS database has been marked suspect.
I do not have a backup.
I have read several articles about trying to us sp_resetstatus.
I can not find this sp on my server.
When I try the following:
UPDATE master..sysdatabases status=256 WHERE name = ('sms')
I get the following back:
Ad-hoc updates to system catalog not enabled. System Adminstrator must recongifure system to allow this.
I have searched Microsoft KB and everywhere I can think of. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
I even tried reapplying sp3 and rebooting...this did not help either.
Can someone please tell me how to change the status back to normal.....I think this is a it will take..
thanks in advance,
nathan
I have the original dat files ( 2 seperate log / data) of a database. I have created new devices (same size as originals) and a new database. I replace the new dat files with the originals and the database always comes up as a suspect. I have done this with the other 7 databases on my server and none have similar problems. This database was created different then others using new database and new devices routine rather than creating the devices first. Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance.
Hi... I have this problem with my database (dunno how this thing happen). Today, 2 of my databases have been marked as 'suspect' (grey color in SQL Enterprise Manager). In ISQL, when I try 2 connect 2 the database (use), the message '
Msg 926, Level 14, State 1
Database 'MYUAT' cannot be opened - it has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. The SA can drop the database with DBCC.'
appeared.
Don't understand Y this occurred...
Thanks in advance for any help...

I'm running Win2000/SQL2000 on a Compaq CL380 Cluster Server. After a powerdown to do a physical move, the MSDB is now marked SUSPECT. I have tried the stored procedure SP_RESETSTATUS, a DBCC consistency check, and also have restored the database from backup. The database still shows MSDB is suspect. What can I do? We can't get a good backup as long as it is still this way as it depends on the SQL Agent.

Hi all,
We recently had some kind of error on one of the server's hard drives. The network guys, reinintialized (or something) and were able to bring everything back. However, two of my databases now is "Suspect" and can't be used. Both the MDF & LDF exist, and there are no indications of actual data loss. What can I do with a "suspect" database ? SQL 2K
What should I do to recover these two databases?
Thank you for all your suggestions.
I could not open my database.It says its Suspect and could not open and not displaying any of the objects
What should be the reason and what is steps i can do make it up and running.
Thanks

One of my prodn databases went into suspect mode today..
I was able to recover it.
The tech support guyz had rebooted the server couple of times
(out of ignorance) cos they thought if wud fix it.
I lost the sql errpor log file which had the error details as to why db when into suspect....so my questions are..
1. Probable reasons why db when into suspect mode.
2. Any other way to find out about the error details.
3. When I ran dbcc checkdb with repair_rebuild option
for some tables it gave error
"Parent node for page (1:13075) was not encountered"
How can i resolve the consistency errors.
Is DBCC CHECKTABLE sufficient.???
We have an SQL Server 2000 DB server with several databases on it. Frequently, one of the DBs will have a state of "Suspect." This appears to occur after our 3rd party backup software runs a full backup on the weekends.
How can I begin to troubleshoot the cause of this issue? Has anyone seen anything like this?
thanks,
Jeff

Hi all,
I have a suspect database caused by a disk error on a Raid5 disk. I'm a bit of a novice on SQL and am using SQL 2005. I have tried the following and can't get the database status to reset which means the DBCC checkdb command does not run. The client I am fixing this for has no backup of the data at all.
USE master
GO
sp_configure 'allow updates', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
EXEC sp_resetstatus 'nhd2007';
GO
sp_configure 'allow updates', 0
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE
GO
DBCC checkdb ('nhd2007',NOINDEX);
GO
I get the following error back:-
Configuration option 'allow updates' changed from 0 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
The suspect flag on the database "nhd2007" is already reset.
Configuration option 'allow updates' changed from 1 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Msg 926, Level 14, State 1, Line 3
Database 'nhd2007' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
The error in the SQL Log which is causing all the problems is:-
Message
SQL Server detected a logical consistency-based I/O error: incorrect pageid (expected 1:3425329; actual 25600:1744858624). It occurred during a read of page (1:3425329) in database ID 24 at offset 0x00000688862000 in file 'E:hd2007hd2007.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log or system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
Any advice on what I can do to get some access to the data would be great.
Thanks
Okay, so i have a tabase named "TEST" that i set up, everything in it is for a website i've been designing slowly for the last month, i come in today, and notice the database is marked suspect. look at the log and i see all of this:
Recovery of database 'Test' (7) is 20% complete (approximately 305 more seconds) (Phase 2 of 3).
ForwardLogBlockReadAheadAsync: Operating system error 23(Data error (cyclic redundancy check).) encountered.
Operating system error 23(Data error (cyclic redundancy check).) on device 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdataTest_Log.LDF' during ForwardLogBlockReadAheadAsync.
Error: 3313, Severity: 21, State: 2
Error while redoing logged operation in database 'Test'. Error at log record ID (8440:42526:1)..
Error: 3414, Severity: 21, State: 1
Database 'Test' (database ID 7) could not recover. Contact Technical Support..
Now, honestly, i could care less about the data, the thing the matters most to me, is the couple of stored procedures i've developed.
what can i do?
