Database shows (Suspect\offline) in EM

  • Hi,

     

    I have a Database which showed the status as  (suspect\offline) in EM. But when I tried to bring the db on line I was able to. I checked that the DB files were in place. Any reason why this could have happened. Also while trying to bring it online I ran the profiler and caught this events and error.

     

    Error: 942, Severity: 14, State: 4

     

    Can someone interpret this error please

  • The error merely indicates that a request was made to an offline database. Once you've brought it up you won't see the errors anymore.

    As to why...

  • Trying just giving the database a restore with recovery command -- it might just be stuck in a non-recovery state.  If it still doesn't come online, check the SQL Server error log -- you'll probably get a better idea of what's wrong.

    If it's truly Suspect (read: corrupted) and it is a production database, you may want to escalate to a PSS call.

    Good luck!

  • The database could be brought online via QA when u get such error message from EM.

    Please use the below command within the 'master' DB:

    sp_dboption 'pubs','offline','false'

    - change the parameter false/true to make it offline/online.

    Hope this helps !
