DBCC Checkdb Problems

  • Hi guys

    Hoping that someone can point me in the right direction on this

    Running DBCC CheckDB against a database, returns the following error:

    Failed:(-1073548784) Executing the query "DBCC CHECKDB(N'XXX') WITH NO_INFOMSGS

    The Index Allocation Map (IAM) page (0:0) is pointed to by the previous pointer of IAM page (1:75945) in object ID 0, index ID -1, partition ID 0, alloc unit ID 316088541052928 (type Unknown), but it was not detected in the scan.

    CHECKDB found 1 allocation errors and 21 consistency errors not associated with any single object.

    CHECKDB found 1 allocation errors and 21 consistency errors in database 'XXXX'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

    A bit of background on this, the database in question was recently migrated from a sql 2000 server to sql 2008 R2.My own guess on this is that someone on the 2000 database server altered something on sys.indexes which has caused this.

    Some of the checks we’ve done:

    --identified the names of the columns in question

    select * from syscolumns where id = 528161077

    We could see 1 table that has 20 of the 21 columns, the odd column out was used only in views. We tried dropping these views and the table we identified and ran the dbcc checkdb command again and got the same result

    Ran select * from syscolumns where id = 528161077 again still got 21 results (thought that strange since we had dropped the views where the odd column was used)

    --identified all the tables where this object_id is used in sys.columns

    SELECT distinct c.TABLE_NAME

    FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS c

    INNER JOIN

    sys.objects o

    on o.name = c.table_name

    where o.type = 'U'

    and c.column_name in

    (select name from sys.columns

    where object_id = 528161077)

    Query returns 32 tables

    --Ran the following

    dbcc traceon (3604, -1)

    go

    dbcc page ('XXXX',1,75945,3)

    go

    Got the following results

    If anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be greatly appreciated

  • This one's nasty.

    Someone, at some time, made changes directly to the system tables in SQL 2000. SQL 2000 didn't check for that when it ran checkDB, so it went unnoticed. SQL 2008 does, but it's incredibly hard to fix.

    Two options:

    1) Script all objects, export all data, recreate the database.

    2) Hack the system tables in SQL 2008 (no, sys.tables, sys.objects and sys.columns are not the tables). The system tables are completely undocumented, if you make a mistake you could make things worse, and making the changes will leave a permanent record in the database that someone fiddled with the system tables. CSS may refuse to help you if you have problems in the future.

    Given that you also have an IAM error (same kind of cause), I'd go for option 1 if it were my database or a client's database.

  • Cheers Gilla, have read a few blogs and articles about it and it would appear that if all else fails, recreate the database and import the data back across.

    Don't suppose you have any links to threads about doing this in a nice powershell script??

    That's what I'd recommend. There's no automated fix for this, checkDB can't repair it. Dropping objects is not going to fix it.

    Don't suppose you have any links to threads about doing this in a nice powershell script??

    What's powershell? 😀

    Sorry, that's not something I use much, so don't know very well.

  • We still have the 2000 instance of this db, is there anyway we can pinpoint the change at that level, identify and migrate the fix?

    Oh yes, absolutely and very easy in SQL 2000. If you can fix there and re-upgrade the DB, that's by far the easiest.

    SELECT * FROM syscolumns WHERE objectid = 528161077

    That should return 21 rows. If so...

    EXEC sp_configure 'allow updates', 1

    RECONFIGURE

    DELETE FROM syscolumns WHERE objectid = 528161077

    GO

    EXEC sp_configure 'allow updates', 0

    RECONFIGURE

    GO

    DBCC CheckCatalog (<database name>)

    DBCC CheckCatalog (<database name>)

    I am guessing that the second sp_configure should be to set it back to 0 to prevent updates?

  • Ack. Fixed.
