I created the db with the attached script and I am able to access ituntil I reboot the server. I've tried enabling flag 1807 via the SQLserver service and the startup parameters of the instance. In allcases the database always come up suspect after a reboot. There wasone instance where I was able to recover, but I am not sure how thathappened.Does anyone have an idea of how I can reboot the server without thedatabase becomming suspect?USE MASTERGODBCC TRACEON(1807)GO--DBCC TRACEOFF(1807)--DBCC TRACESTATUS(1807)GOCREATE DATABASE ReadyNAS ON( NAME = ReadyNAS_Data,FILENAME = '\NAS1NASDiskSQL ServerReadyNASReadyNAS_Data.mdf',SIZE = 100MB,MAXSIZE = 20GB,FILEGROWTH = 20MB)LOG ON ( NAME = ReadyNAS_Log,FILENAME = '\NAS1NASDiskSQL ServerReadyNASReadyNAS_Log.ldf',SIZE = 20MB,MAXSIZE = 100MB,FILEGROWTH = 10MB)

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
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..
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?
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.
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.
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?
Hi everyone, I hope you could help me. I have a database that was marked as suspect, i change is state but now i want to extract the information of the database and a couldn't because de database have several erros include 2 allocation erros. How could i solve this problem? I don't have a recent database backup. thanks to everyone.
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.
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.
i have a database which has a log file size of 10 Mb. it goes into single user mode automatically . i tried to increase the size of file size of log file from 10 mb to 50 mb... but i want to make it only 20 mb ... i am unable to change since it gives a message .cannot decrease the size of the file .. is there another way to decrease the size of log file .....also the database goes into suspect stage automatically sometimes
I have two questions:(1) How can we diagnose the reason of database suspect? The error logdoesn't tell me much.(2) After restart the server, the suspect is gone, but how can Iensure everthing is fine? DBCC check?Thanks!Saiyou
I had a "suspect" database. I detached successfully and now I'm trying to attach it. For some reason the LDF file is missing. The "detach" was successfull but the "attach" would not succeed. Whenever I try to attach the database, it would give me an error that says:
"Device Activation Error. The physical filename "xyz...LDF" may be incorrect."
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.
I have a database in suspect mode. There is no backup of this database. I've followed the troubleshooting and it isn't working out. There are 3 steps: 1. execute sp_resetstatus 2. use alter database to add data file or log file to the database 3. stop and restart SQL Server 4. free disk space and rerun recovery I've tried to make it, but the step # 2 haven't worked. Then I tried step 3, however the database is still in suspect mode. What should I do? Is there something I am missing? Thanks, Fábio
I had a huge problem with my SQL database and I had it restored by using my back up tapes from the days before. I tried to back it up although it allowed me to restore it...it now says that the database is "suspect"= not found,,lost?... How can I get rid of this suspect & open my database,,, Does this mean that my database cannot be restored from a prior day (using my backup tapes from past days through the server?)
Can someone please help me concerning "suspect database names in SQL Serbver 7.0?
Any ideas ...please help me ...more detail?
Thanks in advance, Brad Isaacs Junior VB Developer / SQL Server 7.0 databases
Hi, One of my most used databases has been marked by the Server as SUSPECT. No, i was not trying to recover the Db. The story goes like this.. We are using MTS for a VB, SQL distributed application. One of the MTS transactions was blocking a lot of my other transactions. I tried to kill that transaction to avail nothing. I stopped the SQL Server and restarted it again ( as suggested in BOL, coz the transaction was open and was awaiting command, so server restart was the only way-BOL ) When the server came back up, and i tried to restore the db, it said that the database has been marked suspect. When i tried dbcc dbrecover, it said, could not recover because it could not connect to MSDTC to check the completion status of the transaction xxxx. sp_resetstaus did not help as well.
A Database has expanded and use of 2 data devices and 2 log devices. (Data1.dat and Log1.dat located on drive c: Data2.dat and Log2.dat located on drive d:)
The backup that was taken was only a filebackup of the devicefiles on drive c:
So, I have a database with the devicefiles out of sync.
I have tried several approaches, but the server always tries to make a recovery and marks the database as suspect.
I have used the sp_resetstatus procedure and tried to start the database with traceflag 3608 Sqlservr –c –m –T3608 Every time I try to use any traceflag, I just get the error 615 and it says it can not find database table id 2, name tempdb.
Do anyone know why Sqlserver do not start with the traceflag? Is their any option I have overlooked?
I am bit new in Database administration. We have a MS SQL 2000 Server. This have database of huge sizes. till yesterday everything was okay. Today I saw in the Enterprise manager that one of the Huge databse is grayed out and withing bracket (Suspect ) is written jaust after the database name.
When I tried to expand the database to see the tables. It did not show anything. (No Items).
I dont know what has gone wrong with the database.
Is ther any way to bring this database back to normal.
I got the following error Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 4 I/O error 33(The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.) detected during write at offset 0x0000000a796000 in file xxxxxxxxx.ndf'.
and the respective database could not be brought online - this was just due to a problem with a .ndf file containing only indexes...is there any way to connect to/alter a database while it is in this transitional state? (it would be no loss if i could just remove the file & its filegroup)
I moved a database file (.mdf) from the Microsoft SQL Server data directory to another location, and moved it back into the original location. After which the database staus changed to suspect.
my database went into suspect mode. i tried to reset the status database by "sp_resetstatus abc". It is giving the message
"Prior to updating sysdatabases entry for database 'cr2db', mode = 0 and status = 260 (status suspect_bit = 256). For row in sysdatabases for database 'cr2db', the status bit 256 was forced off and mode was forced to 0. Warning: You must recover this database prior to access."
please let me if you have any solution to this problem.
I am currrently working on a ASP.Net 2.0 project using Sql Server 2000 with SP4. Whenever I run any query the connected database keeps showing as 'Suspect' and I can't access it from Enterprise Manager/ Query Analyzer. But my ASP.NET pages work fine. I can access my records as well as update them through my ASP pages. Please help me out.... Here is the code which I use in my ASP.Net page
