MS SQL Server 2008 is the latest version of SQL Sever. It has been designed with the SQL Server Always On technologies that minimize the downtime and maintain appropriate levels of application availability. These technologies also enable data management self-tuning, self organizing, and self maintaining of the databases. However, sometimes the databases may get corrupt or become inaccessible because of various reasons such as virus infections, power surges, human errors, etc. To resolve these issues you should consider taking appropriate measures. In case, you are not able to address the situation then you should repair SQL database using a third-party
SQL database repair application.
Consider a scenario wherein you are using MS SQL Server 2008 and encounter the following error message:
“The %.*ls count for object "%.*ls", index ID %d, partition ID %I64d, alloc unit ID %I64d (type %.*ls) is incorrect. Run DBCC UPDATEUSAGE.”
Cause:
The cause of the error message could be that you are using a database created in the versions before SQL Server 2005. This is because, the values for the table and index row counts and page row counts can become incorrect. Because of this, the databases created in these versions may contain incorrect counts. The DBCC CHECKDB utility has been modified to detect such errors, which is why the error message is displayed when the error is encountered.
The other reason for this error message is that the database has become corrupt because of either virus infections, human errors, power surges, etc.
Resolution:
To resolve this issue, you should run the DBCC UPDATEUSAGE utility as mentioned in the error message. It corrects the incorrect values of the rows, used, reserved, and dpages columns for the table. However, if you are still not able to correct the error then you should use a third-party
MS SQL repair software to repair SQL database. Such read-only tools are highly interactive and do not overwrite the existing data while scanning.
SQL Recovery software enables you to perform SQL repair on corrupted databases components such as tables, defaults, stored procedures, triggers, views, and rules. It is able to repair SQL databases created in MS SQL Server 2000, 2005, and 2008. In addition, it is able to recover database constraints such as primary key, foreign key, unique key, and check. It can also retrieve user-defined functions and user-defined data types. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, Server 2003, XP, and 2000.
