I have SQL Express SP1 installed on serveral machines, each has one instance and each instance has more than one database.
Recently, I found out some dbs are marked Suspect. MOM tool reported something like:
The database "your-DB" in the instance "Your-Instance" is in a critical state. The state is: Suspect.
I tried to run "DBCC CHECKDB", but it failed.
Can someone tell me what could cause the problem, and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Peter
Hello Gurus,
After the power failure my database was marked suspect. According to my associate we will execute SQL command sp_resetstatus. My question is what are the things we have to do first before we execute the command? We are using NT 4.
thanks

Hi all,
I have a big problem with a Database on SQL-Server7.0 running on windows 2000 advanced server. The msdb database is marked suspect. I have tried a few suggestions in the SQL BOL but no luck.
Can anyone help please!
We have a new installation on Friday which was running fine. Unfortunately today, the msdb is marked suspect. Do I uninstall and reload SQL server or change the status. We only have a training data on the server presently. Does anybody has any other suggestions? Please help. Thanks for your assistance.

I tried this command
DBCC CHECKDB (A2PD,REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
The above command was not executed as there was some long rollback was going from a user...
I stopped and re started the MSSQLSERVR service...
Then i found the follwing error..
how can i work with the database A2PD marked as suspect
Server: Msg 926, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Database 'A2PD' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
Thanks
I've got trouble -- somehow my msdb is corrupt and is marked as "suspect". I cannot open it up or it is apparently devoid of any table, etc.
It's on my SQLExpress instance and I'm willing to blow the entire server away -- since this server has been used as a sandbox for personal use.
Can I simply re-install SQLExpress?
Hi,I restored my Windows XP system and discovered that I cannot access aMSDE DB that was saved in D: drive (I restored my primary partition inC). How can I restore it?Thanks a lot.

I have the MS SQL2000 database failed to recover at computer restart. Now the database is marked suspect. How can I manage to recover the data?
Thank you.
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! maybe this question is very common, but i can resolve that. I have a DB marked 'loading', and nothing seems to change this state. Is any way to revert to a normal state, or the only way is destroy and re-create?
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I want to know if the System.Xml.XmlTextReader is marked with Host Protection Attributes(HPA) in the SQL Server 2005 CLR. I ask this because when I add a custom class that inherits from System.Xml.XmlTextReader, I get a code access security error at runtime. I am able to register the assembly just fine. I have tested it with all the cases and pretty much sure my code breaks in this class.
My code snippet is shown below:
public class CustomXmlTextReader : XmlTextReader
{
......
......
}
Doesn't really matter what is in this class. It gives an expection even when there is no code inside.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jai
I canceled a restore job, and now the database is marked (Loading). When I go to propertied it tells me "database can't be opened, it's in a middle of a restore" Yet from a Query window I can connect and run queries against that database. Should I just wait until it finishes "Loading" or should I re-start the server?
Thanks
I have a 3GB DB that I was running an update script on. The sript failed and ran out of transaction log space. I expanded it and stopped and restarted SQL. The user DB is now marked as recovering. How long should I wait for it to recover? I don't want to have to restore again and start all over with my script. Please help.
(By the way this is a restored DB)
Thanks.

Hi all,
Is there a method of identifying all the procedures in a database that are marked for autostart?
i.e. select name from sysobjects where blah = 'autostart'

I read in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services by Kirk Haselden that the BULK INSERT task was provided for backward compatibility and its use is disrecommended.
But after looking on the web I cannot find information supporting this.
Do you think the BULK INSERT task should be used for new development?
Thanks
After I restore a database with SQL the database I cannot access it. However, after restoring using Enterprise Manager I do not have the same problem. The message I get is:
Database 'les_test' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.
The code I am trying to use for the restore is:
RESTORE DATABASE les_test
FROM DISK = 'c:MSSQL7BACKUPiztrobeta_db_200012011201.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
REPLACE,
MOVE 'biztrobeta_PRI' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_PRI.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGE_Dat1' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGE_Dat1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGX_Idx1 ' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGX_Idx1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_LOG' TO 'c:mssql7Dataiztrobeta_LOG.ldf'
GO
I tried changing the status in the master..sysdatabases tables, but the restored database was still not accessible. I tried to do this using the following statment:
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET STATUS = 4194316
WHERE name = 'les_test'
GO
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Les

Database ID 3, Page (1:7650240) is marked RestorePending, which may indicate disk corruption. To recover from this state, perform a restore.in TEST environment we were able to reproduce this error by restoring latest backup.
we ran :
dbcc checktable (tblDistpatch ,REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS )
then we ran dbcc checkdb and no errors where found.
my question comes with in your experience is this the best possible way to fix this table?only one table, but running this in production environment will required to put db in single user mode first.
I am currently investigating how to safely back up the seven related databases that drive Microsoft Team Foundation Server. Microsoft is suspiciously vaigue and inconsistent about how to perform a safe TFS database backup.
This article states "Although SQL Server Management Studio allows you to back up individual databases at a time, restoring from such back ups can cause unexpected results because the databases are related and you risk restoring outdated versions."
Here, that requirement is strengthened (search for text in article 'Backing up Databases') "Because this data is stored in seven related databases, you might want to use marked transactions in the transaction logs of each database. Transaction-log marks help guarantee absolute consistency in the distributed data set."
but then it weakens the case again a few sentences later...
"Databases for Team Foundation Server are loosely coupled; any latency issues generally are limited to relationships between things such as work items and change sets that are created during the backup window."
There are various other TFS administrators with the same worry about backing up the TFS databases - see here and here.
This requirement to back up related databases to a consistent point in time is not new in Microsoft products. It seems that BizTalk server had exactly the same complication. The nice thing for the BizTalk administrators was that Microsoft included a stored procedure to manage backup of related databases in this way. Team Foundation server administrators don't seem to be so lucky.
I've read the documentation for distributed transaction marking but it doesn't give me that high-level overview that I'm looking for. In our installation, all of the seven databases are hosted on the same machine and same instance of SQL Server.
My initial misconception about transaction marking was that I assumed TFS itself would routinely insert marks into the transaction logs of the seven databases during its normal operation, at points in time where it knows that their state is consistent. This doesn't appear to be the case. The explanation of the BizTalk stored procedure indicates that the log mark insertions are initiated by SQL server as a DBA task. It seems that the insertion of these named marks is done just prior to performing database log backups. This makes sense, so presumably once SQL Server is told to make the marks, it waits for a point in time at which all transactions are closed across all related databases before inserting the marks simultaneously.
If I've got that overview correct, then my real problem is that I can't find an example of the T-SQL that would actually do this. In pseudocode I'd expect it to be something like...
begin distributed transaction across (list of 7 databases), timeout 300 seconds
insert transaction log mark 'safe to restore to this point'
end distributed transaction
I suspect that this page will probably end up having all the information on it I need, but after reading it several times I can't quite nail it. If anyone can help then I'd be most grateful.

Kill may be overdramatic, but...
I am testing a merge publication with a push subscription. The publication contains a single table. That table has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger marked NOT FOR REPLICATION and an AFTER trigger that needs to go off during replication.
During Synchronization neither trigger goes off. If I drop the instead of trigger the after trigger will go off. What is going on?
Thanks,

Hi all,

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?
