Suspect_pages has 1 entry but Checkdb error is 0

  • I have taken over SQL 2012 Server.   I found 1 entry in msdb.dbo.suspect_pages table with last_update_date being "2012-04-06 21:13:46.257".  The database this error is associated w/ is about 700GB.   Checkdb physcial_only is executed every day except 3rd Sunday of the month (Full Checkdb). No errors has been reported during these checks.

    I manually executed "DBCC CHECKDB (dbname) WITH all_errormsgs, no_infomsgs"  and it  returned "found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors. Elapsed time: 1 hours 54 minutes 24 seconds"

    Here is the result for our most recent physcial_only results:

    DBCC CHECKDB (dbname) WITH all_errormsgs, no_infomsgs, physical_only :  found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors.

    Is it safe to assume this is a very old error message and can be deleted?  This is a production database that no one has completed about.

     

     

  • Basically, it's a marker that something might be suspect, not that it is. So, you go and run a consistency check. If it finds something, there you go. If not, just go back and delete the entry. It was a false positive. No big thing.
