The PFS (Page Free Space) pages in the MS SQL Server databases are used to search for free space in the database tables. It holds a byte-map which contains one byte per page that is represented by P_ID. Sometimes, you are unable to read the PFS page that can happen due to database corruption. The corruption cases are caused due to various issues such as abrupt or improper system shutdown when the database is open, virus infections, etc. In such circumstances, you should try to recover SQL database using appropriate methods. If you are unable to workaround the issue, then you should use a third-party SQL database recovery software to address the problem.
Consider a scenario wherein you are facing the following error message while working on an MS SQL Server 2000 database:
"Object ID O_ID, index ID I_ID: Page P_ID could not be processed. See other errors for details."
Cause:
The most prominent cause of this problem is that the P_ID page was marked as allocated in a PFS page. But, when the page was read, the reading failed resulting in this error...

In the MS SQL Server databases, the IAM (Index Allocation Map), GAM (Global Allocation Map), SGAM (Shared GAM) are different types of pages that are used to store the records on the hard disks. These pages combine together in an extent, which is used to hold the metadata of the databases. A lot of times due to the mismatching in these files, the database gets corrupt and does not work properly. In such cases, you should try to repair MDF file using appropriate measures. However, if the problem is not addressed, then there is a strong case of using a third-party SQL repair software.
Consider a situation in which you are facing the following error message while working on an MS SQL Server 2000 database:
“Extent E_ID in database ID DB_ID is allocated in both GAM GAM_P_ID and SGAM SGAM_P_ID.”
Cause:
The error has occurred because of corruption in the extents due to the irregularities in the IAM, GAM, and SGAM pages.

In an MS SQL table, a text node is used to save the data that is stored in the rows of the records. Every text node contains a parent node and is formulated in either a B-tree or a heap format. At times, when the text node becomes damaged then you are unable to access the data in the tables. Such problems can occur due to various issues such as virus infections, hardware malfunctioning, database header corruption, etc. You should perform appropriate workarounds to repair MDF file failing which you can try a third-party SQL repair software to repair SQL database.
Taking a practical scenario into account in which you are getting the following error message while working on an MS SQL Server 2000 database:
"Object ID O_ID: Errors found in text ID TEXT_ID owned by data record identified by RID."

You must have experienced cases of database corruption more often than not. When you face database corruption, you are unable to work further on the database. These instances can occur due to any arbitrary reason. Some of the most prominent ones could be unplanned system shutdown especially when the database is open, page header corruption, virus infections in the database, etc. You can repair SQL database by using few workarounds. However, if nothing works fine then using a third-party SQL repair software is the best option.
For instance, the following error message appears while you are working on an MS SQL Server 2008 database:
“Table error: alloc unit ID A_ID, page P_ID. The test (TEST) failed. The values are VAL1 and VAL2.”
Cause:
Such problem has happened as a database page, P_ID, has not passed auditing test because of page header corruption. You can refer to the error message where it is clearly shown that the TEST string has failed the test.

In MS SQL Server database, a page is used as the most primitive unit of storage as the space allocated to every database file. And a collection of eight pages is called an extent, which is used to manage the pages. However, sometimes SQL Server is unable to read through the properties of these pages. Such problems can invariably occur due to various issues such as virus infections, power outages, hardware problems, abrupt system shutdown when the database is open, etc. In such cases, you should find out the exact cause of corruption and try to isolate it. If any of the methods do not succeed, then you should use a third-party SQL repair software to
repair SQL database.
Consider a scenario wherein you encounter the following error message while working on an MS SQL Server 2008 database:
"
Process ID %d attempted to unlock a resource it does not own: %.*ls. Retry the transaction, because this error may be caused by a timing condition. If the problem persists, contact the database administrator."...

As you store more and more data to your Microsoft SQL Server database, the size of database increases and the performance of Microsoft SQL Server decreases day by day. Large size of database may also cause system crash and sometimes database corruption. To prevent such situations, MS SQL Server provides SHRINKFILE and SHRINDB tools for reducing size of the database. However, in some cases, these tools fail to shrink the database and problem remains intact. At this point, if database corruption occurs, SQL database repair becomes need of hour.
As a practical example of this behavior, you may come across the following error message when you try to reduce size of the SQL Server 2000 database using SHRINKFILE, SHRINKDB, or SQL Server Enterprise Manager:
"2002-11-25 22:41:30.18 spid55 Time out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 4,bp 0x3d03340, page 1:37939357), stat 0xb, object ID 8:8:0, EC 0xB39B55E0 : 0, waittime 300. Not continuing to wait...

In Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you can configure the database mirroring between two database. It improves database reliability and prevent data loss situations, if one database gets damaged due to any reason. In case of failure, you can restore the copy of your database from mirror database. However, if you unintentionally remove the transaction log files on SQL Server database, database mirroring session is broken by principle server. After this behavior, you can not restore the data from mirror server if principle server fails. It causes database corruption and require SQL Database Recovery to be fixed, if backup is not available.
As a practical instance of this problem, consider the underwritten scenario:
In Microsoft SQL Server 2008 SP1 (Service Pack 1) or Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you configure mirroring between two databases.

SQL Server 2005 provides various options to control the growing size of the database. One such option is to create a filegroup. TA filegroup is a logical storage unit which is used to contain the database objects that reference to a file system file or multiple files. In a filegroup, additional disk drives are allocated to support the estimated growth of the database. Then, the additional files are shifted to these filegroups to spread the I/O over additional disks. Having said that, these filegroups-supported databases can get corrupt due to various reasons. In such cases, you should consider taking appropriate corrective measures to resolve the issue. However, if the measures are not sufficient then you should use a third-party
repair mssql database software to repair the corrupted database.
Consider a scenario wherein you have received the following error message when you open the SQL Server 2005 database:...

An MS SQL Server database is built of numerous pages, each containing actual data saved in the database components, like tables, views, and more. Every single page is further marked by a header, which consists of critical page information like page type, total free space left in the page, and page number. While every page contains a specified index, there might be situations when the page might point to an incorrect index. This mainly happens when the SQL Server database is logically damaged. In most of these situations, the database becomes unmountable, rendering to inaccessibility of all its saved records. To access the records in these situations, the database administrator needs to repair the database using DBCC CHECKDB command. While the command shows positive results in most cases, it might fail to repair the database in a few situations. In such cases, if the administrator has not created any database backup, then s/he needs to use a commercial

MS SQL Server database user might encounter database corruption issues due to improper system shutdown, metadata structure damage, human mistake, and virus infection. In most situations of database corruption, the database user encounters an error message while trying to mount his/her database. The records saved in the database become inaccessible after any such mount error flashes on the screen. To surpass such error messages and to access the database records, the user can run an inbuilt repair command – DBCC CHECKDB. The command checks the logical and physical integrity of the database and resolves logical corruption to the maximum level. However, there are certain situations where the command fails to resolve logical damage. For such cases, the user needs to opt for an effective third-party
