Repair a Suspect Database in SQL Server

Problem

Suspect state of SQL Server database is a state when you are unable to connect to the database.
In this state you cannot do anything with your database: no opening, no backup and no restore.

Root Cause

Possible cause for this problem can be one of the following:

• database is corrupted
• database files are being “opened” or held by some process (operating system, other program(s)…)
• not enough disk space for SQL Server
• insufficient memory (RAM) for SQL Server
• unexpected SQL Server shutdown caused by power failure

Solution

Solution for this problem is quick and it is the following (Execute SQL in Given Order):

1. Connect to your database server using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
2. Execute the following SQL script in given order: 

NOTE: replace [DatabaseName] with your database name

-- This query will rollback any transaction which is running on that database

-- and bring SQL Server database in a "single user" mode

ALTER DATABASE MicrosoftDynamicsAX SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

 

-- Marking database READ_ONLY, disable logging,

-- and limiting access only to members of the sysadmin fixed server role

ALTER DATABASE MicrosoftDynamicsAX SET EMERGENCY

 

-- Checks the logical and physical integrity of all the objects in the specified database

DBCC checkdb(MicrosoftDynamicsAX)

 

-- In case of simple failure then we can use allow data loss option to recover Database

 

--  DBCC CheckDB (MicrosoftDynamicsAX, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
