Database restore wanings and error messages

  • hi Gail,

    Drop all the statistics referenced in the error messages. SQL will recreate them if it needs.

    Maybe run a checkcatalog on the sql 2000 database?

    I did not understand what were the statistics from the error messages. Could you plz identify me the statistics in the error messages.

    and I need to drop them in source server(sql 2000(production box)right?

    is it safe to drop statistics from a production box?

    Thanks for your help

    You need to drop them on the 2000 box. It is always safe to drop automatically created statistics (which these are) as the system can just generate them again if it feels it needs to.

    Once you're dropped them, run a checktable on whatever table this returns

    SELECT OBJECT_NAME(1668253048)

  • thank you.

    To drop the statistics:

    1.I have to go database Mydb and execute drop statistics statstics name right?

    2.how do we know these statistics are automatically created?

    and I came to know about these inconsistency errors as Iam restoring these 2 databases to sql server 2005. So how can I know for the rest of databases in sql server 2000 have these problem or not?

    1.I have to go database Mydb and execute drop statistics _WA_Sys_stdAQSKey_78415083 right?

    Yup, for each of the statistics listed in the errors

    2.how do we know these statistics are automatically created?

    From the name. Stats with that form of name (_WA_Sys_*) are system-created statistics. Yes, someone could probably go and create a statistic manually with exactly the same form, but is that really likely?

    Iam not sure that somebody manually created these statistics with exacltly the same form(Excep sqlserver admin) nobody has access though).If some body created them how can we know?

    and where can i see these ststistics in the database Mydb?

    and aslo please clarify me this:

    Use INDEXPROPERY with the IsAutoStatistics property It'll return 1 if the stats were automatically created, 0 otherwise.

    Is it really likely that your sysadmin managed to completely duplicate the system naming standard for statistics? Would he really create things with a name like "_WA_Sys_stdAQSKey_78415083"?

    and where can i see these ststistics in the database Mydb?

    SELECT * FROM sysindexes WHERE INDEXPROPERTY(id, name,'IsStatistics') = 1

    Warning: A column nullability inconsistency was detected in the metadata of index "_WA_Sys_key2354" (index_id = 3) on object ID 2235454631 in database "MyDB". The index may be corrupt. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE to verify consistency.

    To know whether this auto created or not I did the following

    Use Mydb

    go

    INDEXPROPERTY ( 2017546371 , _WA_Sys_23543 ,IsAutoStatistics )

    But Iam getting an error :

    like server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

    Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '2017546371'.

    I took the object_id as 2017546371 from 'A column nullability inconsistency was detected in the metadata of index "_WA_Sys_2354" (index_id = 3) on object ID 235446371 in database "MyDB". The index may be corrupt. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE to verify consistency.'

    where Iam going wrong? from the above query if we get result as 1, then we can go head drop the statistics right?

    I never come across these issues..so Iam asking many questions

    Thanks for prompt respone

    INDEXPROPERTY ( 2017546371 , _WA_Sys_stdAQSKey_78415083 ,IsAutoStatistics )

    But Iam getting an error :

    Did you see how I used INDEXPROPERTY above? Did you look at the examples of its use in Books Online?

    It's a function, it needs to be called within a SELECT or an assignment (SET) and string constants have to be in quotes.

    SELECT INDEXPROPERTY ( 2017546371 , '_WA_Sys_stdAQSKey_78415083','IsAutoStatistics')

  • Thanks Gail,

    As Noil said First of all you should drop that stat (in case it was "upgraded" from 2000)

    Then run an update of the stats with fullscan and also update usage

    In next week we are upgrading the sql 2000 to 2005 using side by side method.

    So after restoring the databases in Newly installed sql server 2005, I will drop the statistics the one giving the warning and errors while restoring and then I will run

    DBCC CHECKDB

    DBCC UPDATESTATS

    DBCC UPDATEUSAGE.

    Is this approch is fine or I MUST need to drop these statistics from production SQL 2000 before taking backups and restore in sql 2005?

    Please give me your suggestion

    Thank You

    Madhu

  • drop the auto created stats from the sql2000 prod database, otherwise each time you restore that db the corrupted object will still be there,

    does this make sense

  • drop the auto created stats from the sql2000 prod database, otherwise each time you restore that db the corrupted object will still be there,

    does this make sense

    I think the above method will be good for the scenario 'Taking backups from Server A(Production sql 2000), copying the backups to Server B(Sql 2005) and restore. '(Daily process)

    In the scenario, upgrade from sql 2000 to 2005, droping the statistics in SQL 2005 and run all the dbcc commands to make sure these in no corruption might be good(Correct me if Iam wrong)

    And why these Auto created statistics were corrupted? how to diagnose the reason for corruption?

    Thanks for your inputs

    Madhu

    If you do that, you'll have to do it on every single restore. The source of the problem is the SQL 2000 database. Fix it there. It makes no sense at all to fix it in a copy that's overwritten every day.

    And why these Auto created statistics were corrupted? how to diagnose the reason for corruption?

    Corruption's typically an IO problem. If you don't know when it started, the chances of finding the root cause are slim. Check windows event logs, see if there are any hardware-related events

  • That's just SQLServer performing the internal db upgrade at restore time if your backup originates from a lower version.

    That also occurs if you attach a db from a lower version.

    And that's the reason why you cannot go back to a lower version of the engine.
