  • NEI, Not Enough Information.

    Have you checked the SQL Server logs for errors? If so, what errors were reported?

  • Extract all the objects using SSIS package, to be in safe side.

  • I second Lynn's motion.

    Please provide more information. Error messages are critical pieces of information to share.

    Right now, immediately, stop everything!

    First thing to do when a database is suspect is find why SQL marked it suspect. Look in the SQL error log, there will be entries in there. Find them, post them here.

    Do not attempt any repairs without checking why the DB is suspect in the first place.

    Do you have good backups of this database?

    Do you have the vaguest idea what you're talking about here?

    A suspect database is not online (that's why it's suspect) and hence the objects aren't accessible to script out.

    Well if you change Database to emergency mode, you should be able to extract data, i have done this before.

    Yes, if you can set it to Emergency, which isn't always possible and if there is no backup and if there is no other solution. It's far from the immediate, first recommended solution.

    Please try to change your DB to Emergency mode and see if you can extract data or not using import export wizard.

    No! Extract data is NOT the first choice in a suspect DB problem. Switching to Emergency mode may or may not be required, depending on what cause the problem, why SQL has marked the DB suspect.

    The first thing with a suspect DB is to find out why SQL marked it suspect. There will be errors in the error log.

    If those errors can't be rectified, the best option is to restore from backup

    It's only if there isn't a backup that one should attempt an Emergency Mode repair

    It's only if Emergency mode repair fails that extract of objects is necessary.

    I agree that's my point Gail, I have done both changing database to emergency mode and extracting data. I had also restore database from latest backups if necessay. Bru, did you ever see Database in supsect mode as a DBA, if so what did you do to fix it?:hehe:

    If I have the choice of listening to either you or Gila Monster my choice will be the latter.
