SQL 2008 maintenance job failure (w/ compatibility level issue)

  • A SQL 2008 maintenance job failed for the first time after countless successful runs w/ the following error:

    Databases that have a compatibility level of 70 (SQL Server version 7.0) will be skipped.

    All user db's have a compatibility level of 100 (sql 2008).

    The SQL version is 10.10.1763 hosted on a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64bit SP2 OS.

    Any ideas on what happened and a resolution?

  • Can you tell me what is your maintenance job scheduled for?

    Tanx 😀

  • The maint job runs tasks in this order: Check Database Integrity, Rebuild Indexes, Update Statistics and History Cleanup. The job terminates on the Check Database integrity task w/ the compatibility error.

  • Do you get any rows in output when you run the below mentioned query:

    select * from sys.databases

    where compatibility_level<>100

    MJ

  • No records came back for the query but the maint job is now mysteriously running successfully again. WTH??

    I want to thank those who replied. Much appreciated.

    Curiosity, where did you get these databases from with compatibility level of 70? Have you recently migrated these databases to your 2008 server?
