In SQL 2005 when a database is in suspect mode there is no obvious way to tell (via SSMS). In SQL 2000 the word "suspect" was displayed (via Enterprise Manager) next to the database, and the respective database icon was grayed out. Why was this behavior changed for SQL 2005? From a disaster recovery standpoint, it is very important to see immediately if a database is in suspect mode.
View 9 Replieshow to put sql server database in suspect mode intensely and  get it out from suspect mode to normal mode.
  i am using SQL server 2008 R2
can anyone tell me what would casuse this error:
2001-09-12 21:21:01.11 kernel udopen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) during the creation/opening of physical device C:MSSQL7dataReporting.mdf.
2001-09-12 21:21:01.11 kernel FCB::Open failed: Could not open device C:MSSQL7dataReporting.mdf for virtual device number (VDN) 1.
What other things would cause the Reporting.mdf to be locked so the SQL server could not open it?
I have a database in suspect mode. There is no backup of this database.
I've followed the troubleshooting and it isn't working out.
There are 3 steps:
1. execute sp_resetstatus
2. use alter database to add data file or log file to the database
3. stop and restart SQL Server
4. free disk space and rerun recovery
I've tried to make it, but the step # 2 haven't worked.
Then I tried step 3, however the database is still in suspect mode.
What should I do?
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks,

Hi
my database went into suspect mode. i tried to reset the status database by "sp_resetstatus abc". It is giving the message
"Prior to updating sysdatabases entry for database 'cr2db', mode = 0 and status = 260 (status suspect_bit = 256).
For row in sysdatabases for database 'cr2db', the status bit 256 was forced off and mode was forced to 0.
Warning: You must recover this database prior to access."
please let me if you have any solution to this problem.
thank you in advance

Hi,
I have mssql 2005 installed and i see that MSDB database is marked as suspect. I almost tried all the steps which are submitted in the forums.
1) I shut down the server, navigating to the directory 'd:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinn' and doing the following: start sqlservr.exe -c -T3608
2) renamed the damaged msdb files (msdbdata.mdf and msdblog.ldf in the 'd:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData' directory)
3) Run the instmsdb.sql script in the 'd:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLInstall' directory
--x---
When I executed third step it returned me below error:
Msg 926, Level 14, State 1, Line 63
Database 'msdb' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
Please advice me.
Hi,
Could anyone please tell me steps to recover the database from the suspect
mode. The backup I got is very old. Can it be recovered without the backup.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When i tried to restore database from the Network m/c ...upto 60% of the restoration process went well,But after that i got message saying that
" Communication link failure " then database went in to LOAD/SUSPECT mode,
This happend in Active/Active Cluster environment and at the same point of time Fail over occured and resources moved to other node.
i tried by running SP_RESETSTATUS stored procedure to change the status of the Database ,But no use...
Then i deleted the Database and recreated and restored.. because it was a test server...BUT if it happens in Production what to do?????.....
Is there anyway to over come such situations...
Thanks in advance

Mu MSDB database is in suspect mode. Anyone have any info to help get it out. It tells me that it cannot find the path specified for the backups, yet the path exists and there is more than enough disk space even though it says that there is not? I am confused. First time getting this error and doesn't make sense why.
Thanks!

In the work I came up against a situation when the working database at the end of day went to the Suspect Mode.And the archive was in many hours before. To transfer it in normal mode, until isn't made repaired base it was impossible. DBCC checkdb also refused to run because the database is in this mode.

As I know the database should be restored from backup and logs reapplied. That’s the first and generally recommended approach any time a DB is suspect, whether it’s from log or data file corruption.But if I have no backups then we follow below steps ( after Googling I found these steps on most of the websites ):
1.EXEC sp_resetstatus ‘yourDBname’;
2.ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET EMERGENCY
3.DBCC checkdb(’yourDBname’)
4.ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
5.DBCC CheckDB (’yourDBname’, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
6.ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET MULTI_USER
Now my question is,Â
1. If after executing DBCC CHECKDB at 3rd step, it shows inconsistency.Then I will execute SET SINGLE USER WITH ROLLBACK & if after executing DBCC CHECKDB at 3rd step, no errors found. Then what will be the steps?
2. When we execute DBCC CHECKDB (' DBNAME ', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) how can we recover lost data during process.As far as I know some data will loss and if it will happen then business will get suffered.
3. Why run DBCC CHECKDB() WITH REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS if there are no consistency errors in the database?

I was trying to restore a "mdf" (MSDE) database for a HP OpenView product, unfortunately at the initial state of restoration, i got the following error messages:
Database 'openview' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery.
See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
Any valuable suggestions on how to set/change the current "SUSPECT" mode so that the 'openview' database can be opened?
Many thanks,

Hi
I want to suspect database
stop server first
I try to rename C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatamsdbdata.mdf to msdbdata.sav
and then start the server
use command to check:
SELECT status & 256 FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = database_name
if the result is 256,it means the msdb is suspect,but the result is 0,it same as the normal status
do you know how to set database suspect with this way, or do you know other way to suspect databse.
absolutely,I could re-back my server noraml with your way
Thanks
One of my database (name XYZ) shows suspect status in EM but when i try to dig further by running below query i get only "OK" ( see query)
SELECT [name],status, case status when (status & 32) then 'Loading'
when (status & 32) then 'Loading'
when (status & 64) then 'Pre Recovery'
when (status & 128) then 'Recovering'
when (status & 256) then 'Not recoverd'
when (status & 512) then ' Offline'
when (status & 1024) then ' Single user'
when (status & 1024) then ' Read only'
when (status & 32768) then ' Emergency Mode' else 'OK' end as status
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE [name] NOT IN ('distribution', 'tempdb', 'model','Pubs','Northwind')
also i run this
select * from sysdatabases where databaseproperty(name,N'IsSuspect') <> 1
and here also i get all the database including "XYZ"...i guess if "XYZ" is suspect the resultset should not be including "XYZ"
Why if the EM shows suspect status FOR "XYZ" DATABASE it should come up when i check status column in sysdatabases table?
Is there any way to configure a notification icon in the start tray in Express 2005 (like we had in SQL Server 2000) with a little green (or red) arrow (or dot) to indicate whether the server's up (or down)?
View 3 Replies View Related
Earlier versions of SQL had an icon in the system tray - which was very useful. I cannot seem to find how you activate this in 2005.
Also you could schedule a job MSDE 2000 to, say, backup a database. I can't find how you do this in SQL Express.
Why would some of my servers that I have registered not show a green arrow (or any connection status for that matter). It's just a blank white circle. Is there some sort of connection error happening between me and the server?
It's sort of annoying to click on these servers and have the error "SQL Server xxxx is not known to be running. Are you sure you wish to connect?" Any way to get around that?
Thanks..
Can anybody tell me what the following icon means against the SQL Server Agent in EM. I'll describe as best as I can:
Its the usual pc tower picture, but instead of the usual green arrow or red square at the bottom, I'm getting what looks like a window (its very small, I can't tell exactly).
When I see this icon, I can't see or change the Service Startup Account under properties and EM doesn't seem to know if the service is stopped or started (I get the option to do either - although both fail if I try them)
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
Andy
Is there any way to change the interactive sorting icon or even adjust it? When I add the functionality to a column, it skews the column heading to make room for it. This means that reports that previously displayed properly no longer look correct. If I adjust the width of the report to allow room for the icon, then the report overflows its boundary in terms of printing.
Also, the icon does not display evenly all the time. Sometimes, it displays directly next to the text and sometimes it is off to the right more.
Hi,We currently have a fairly old product, which was originally onlycompatible with SQL 2000.When we upgraded our server to SQL 2005, the client product gave us a"This product is not compatible with this version of SQL server"error.We put the server into SQL 2000 compatability mode, and things worked.Then I tested a Windows Vista workstation client. The error returned.I realise that if we are simply dealing with a client incompatabilitywith Vista, then I'm in the wrong forum, but what I'm hoping is thatsomeone knows anything server side, perhaps where SQL 2000compatability mode becomes ignored for some reason, when the client isrunning Vista.The vendor pretty much no longer exists, and nothing I've been able todo with Vista's compatability modes has been helpful so far.

In my installation of RS 2005 when I click the Refresh Icon on a report the report doesnt update. But when I click the "View Report" button it does.
For example, if I change the parameters on the report and click the refresh icon the report seems to flicker as if it was rfreshing but the report data remains the same, even the paramaters in the report remain the same (I have the parameters that are selected in the report header)
Anyone have the same problem or know the solution?
Hi all,
I apologize if this question has already been asked a dozen times, I ran a search and came up with nothing, soooo...
I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1 + SQL Management Studio Express.
I attached all my old databases, and setup named pips, tcp/ip, etc, but for some reason, I don't see a SQL 2005 Express Icon in the system tray to indicate to me if the Server is running or not.
now I undestand Express doesn't come with Agent tools, but where on earth is my tray icon? Do I need to download the 'advanced reporting tools' version instead? (about 200mb+)
TIA,

We have reports in SharePoint integrated mode which are really slow when compared to native mode. I have been asked to research and give info on what exactly causes the delays.
Any articles which give me information as to what happens when a report is run from SharePoint server and where does it log.
Hello All,
I want to change from cal user license to processor license in sql 2005. How do I do this? Do I need to reinstall sql? Assuming I need to reinstall, will my settings be gone?
Sorry, I'm new to sql. Thank you!
Up until an hour ago, I was using the Sql Server Reporting Services Report Viewer webpart in Sharepoint with forms authentication, and was not having an issue. The only thing that I did (or remember doing) before things went sour was upload a new report to the document list and since then whenever I try to access a report, manage the data source on a report, change the report URL in the webpart, I get the following message:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> The request failed with the error message:
--
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href="/_layouts/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f_vti_bin%2fReportServer%2fReportService2006.asmx">here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>
--.
I found some related posts and have tried the following, but none have helped:
Removed all reports and reuploaded only the one that was definitely working.
I changed the application pool for the report server to be the same app pool as Sharepoint (runs under domain admin account).
I changed the application pool for the report server back to it's original (which the Reporting Services Configuration prefers - was running under Network Service acct before the problem started, now running under domain admin acct)
I can browse to http://server/reportserver.
I'm running under forms authentication, which had been working.
I can access the three configs for Reporting Services under Application Management in Central Admin - I've tried changing the settings.
I can access http://server/_vti_bin/reportserver/reportservice2006.asmx as well as http://server/_vti_bin/reportserver/reportserviceauthentication.asmx (that was suggested in one post)
I've restarted IIS numerous times, and also finally rebooted the server.
I've created a new document list and set it for report content, just like the other list.
I also just noticed that even though I've set up my admin account as a site collection administrator, I now no longer see my report options under the New button in the document library (both the old and new). I don't know if this is related.
I'm sure that this is a case of something minor that I did that I forgot about. Any suggestions or other troubleshooting that I can do?
Thanks!
