The problem is that SQL Server, by default, doesn’t tell when corruption can strike. It doesn’t raise any red flags. To prevent databases from becoming inaccessible or getting lost, it’s crucial to spot corruption quickly. How do I know if my SQL database is corrupted? You can identify corruption in a database by performing any of these actions: • Query the system tables, executing the ‘SELECT * FROM msdb.suspect_pages’ statement. • Use trace flags to identify corruption. Trace flag 806 helps audit database pages for corruption. In addition, trace flag 3422 helps detect if transaction log records are corrupted or not. Find more information on trace flags from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/sql/sql-server-2005/administrator/cc917726(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN • Run DBCC CHECKDB to check for corruption as frequently as possible. What are the various reasons by which MS SQL databases get corrupt? SQL Server bugs: The server has bugs all the time. You may even get bugs when upgrading to a new version of SQL Server. For instance, there is a known bug in SQL Server 2019 version. Problem with I/O subsystem: Damaged I/O subsystems like Crashed hard drives or faulty RAID controllers can cause physical corruption in the database. Cloud servers with limited bandwidth: Running CHECKDB and backups on a cloud server with limited bandwidth can lead to corruption due to storage issues. Other factors that may cause SQL database corruption includes crappy storage, abrupt system termination due to power surges, etc. How do I fix a corrupt database? What you should do to fix database corruption depends on how the SQL Server will respond to detecting corruption. For example, SQL Server will be able to read the database if it has only one or two corrupted data pages. In such a case, you can use DBCC CHECKDB to assess the damage and repair the corrupted database. For more information on using DBCC CHECKDB to repair SQL database, please see https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/how-to-repair-sql-database-using-dbcc-checkdb-command/. But, if the damage has turned the database unreadable, SQL Server will initialize and load that database. In that case, try restoring the database from a FULL database backup that is healthy. If you don’t have a healthy backup, a better alternative is to use a specialized SQL recovery tool built for repairing a corrupted SQL database. For example, use Stellar Repair for MS SQL to repair the corrupted data files (.mdf and .ndf) and regain access to the database. How to repair MS SQL database using Stellar Repair for MS SQL?
