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.
After cloning our production SQL 2012 server to make DEV environment, there is a bunch of databases in "Suspect" mode. This is because the DB's and Logs have got out of sync.I can clean up each DB with this script:
ALTER DATABASE DB_NAME SET EMERGENCY GO DBCC CHECKDB (DB_NAME) GO ALTER DATABASE DB_NAME SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE GO DBCC CHECKDB (DB_NAME, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) GO ALTER DATABASE DB_NAME SET MULTI_USER GO
but this takes a long time replacing DB_NAME and executing for each DB.I tried putting it all into a script with variables, but I have done something wrong and it does not work. Also is there a way to just apply it to the suspect DB's?
USE master Go DECLARE @dbname sysname, @cmd varchar(1000), @cmd1 varchar(1000), @cmd2 varchar(1000), @cmd3 varchar(1000), @cmd4 varchar(1000) DECLARE db_recovery_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name from sysdatabases OPEN db_recovery_cursor
All of a sudden I have 4 of my databases, including pubs that are all marked suspect and seem to be un-recoverable. I have followed the Resetting the suspect status directions as well as trying to attach only the .mdf files but still run into problems reading the .ldf file. I have not tried to do the procedure of creating another database with the same name and structure then swapping the files to trick SQl but will do so if I need to. Does anyone know why this happens all of a sudden to multile databases, of which Pubs I have never used for anything??
In my log files during startup I get this error
Failed to obtain TransactionDispenserInterface: Result Code = 0x8004d01b
Then this error for every database that is suspect, (the actual LSN numbers are different for each one).
The LSN (4:517:1) passed to log scan in database 'pubs' is invalid.. Is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening or recover the DB's
Hi, I have more than 80 databases on my publisher (SQL Server 2000 SP4), I tried to enable Transaction Replication on all of those databases instantly through some T-SQL programming and DTS Packages. Every thing works fine until the snapshot agents starts to take sanpshot from the publisher databases. As soon as their snapshot agents start for those 80 databases, they start giving the deadlock error. All 80 snapshot agents starts at the same time.
Error Message: Transaction (Process ID xxx) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

we have SQL instance which contains databases (A, B, C...). When ever i configured LS with Standby option, and i want complete restore of database A (Primary) to stand by A (Secondary), then logs will always going to restore...
but SQL server is taking a copy of the Backup like "GJ_Temp_data, GJ_Temp_log" as the default file names, for restore the DB Backups.
if i want to set up for the database B, it is taking "GJ_Temp_data, GJ_Temp_log" again for the database B, and giving error as "the files are already in use".
If i script the Log shipping setup while enabling for Database A, and make sure that i will enabling it for remaining databases B, C, D..
Please advice, and give us best experienceS for enabling LS FOR Multiple databases on the single SQL Instance.
I have log shipping enabled on databases(primary and secondary) and works fine. I need to implement TDE on the database. I have experience on implementing TDE on databases which are not used for log-shipping.
What are the steps needed to setup TDE which are involved with log-shipping.

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
SQL Server 2012: Out of all the databases in the instance we have a requirement in which we need to maintain a high availability for the databases around (128). Our team believed log shipping will apt for this requirement but not sure on it's limitations, how many databases are allowed or supports this log shipping from a single instance.
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?
I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
I 'm sure I am missing something obvious, hopefully someone could point it out. After a failover log shipping, I want to fail back to my inital Primary server database; however, my database is marked as loading. How can I mark it as normal?
I did the failover as follow:
I did a failover log shipping from the 2 server Sv1 (Primary) and Sv2 (Secondary) by doing the following
1) Stop the primary database by using sp_change_primary_role (Sv1)
2) Change the 2nd server to primary server by running sp_change_secondary_role (Sv2)
3) Change the monitor role by running sp-change_monitor_role (Sv2)
4) Resolve the log ins - (Sv2)
5) Now I want to fail back - I copy the TRN files to Sv1 - use SQL Ent to restore the database at point in time. The task is done; however, the database is still mark as loading. I could not use sp_dboption.
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
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.

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?
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?
My database is marked as suspectI am using SQL Server 2000,I ran the command sp_resetstatus it executes succesfully. but still the database is in suspect state.can any one tell me how i recover my data.thanks in advance
Im running SQL 7.0 with a large heavily used 4Gb database. After a while the database is marked suspect. What can be the cause to this ? Please email me and I can send you additional information about hardware and the system.
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. ".
Can anybody please help me how to make this into normal status.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
