suspect database issue

  • Hi

    We temporarily lost the drive allocated for our SQL transaction logs. Several dbs were marked as suspect, presumably because they were trying to write to that drive.

    When I tried to offline or detach the dbs, SS said the db didn't exist. If I tried sp_resetstatus, it said the status was OK.

    Eventually, trying to detach the db and saying OK to @Problem occurred with detach' and Cancel to DB doesn't exist, the db was detached. Re-attaching worked fine.

    What should happen in this scenario and what is the recommended practice for recovering from this kind of error.

     

    Thanks.

  • You have one viable courses of action available that I can think of.

    Restore from the last clean backup - yes data loss will occur but there will be no corruption and you now just how far back,

     

    Then you have the 'hack' approach ...
