SQL Server database is a collection of tables with typed columns. If due to any cause SQL Server tables get corrupt, you can use DBCC CHECKDB command to examine the extent of corruption. A SQL table gets corrupt due to unexpected shutdown, application bugs, virus attack, network faults and similar other reasons. A corrupt SQL table shows corruption errors or behaves abruptly. However, to restore lost information, you should use your recent backup, if available and valid. In case of no backup or invalid
ackup state, commercial MDF Repair applications can help to repair and restore the damaged database. One of the typical symptoms that a corrupt SQL Server table shows is that you cannot drop it using DROP TABLE command.

Cause

You cannot drop a corrupt SQL Server table if allocation extent/page is cross-linked or damaged. As a result, SQL Server takes it as some data from other tables in the same extent/pages that belong to the affected object. In such cases, if it allows you to drop the table, it might delete data from other tables.

Solution

To correct the aforementioned behavior, try following these methods:

•    You can create a new SQL Server database and try copying all objects from affected database.

To do so, you can use BCP or Transfer Manager. You then need to dump or rename the databases.
•    If database is of large size, you can update sysobjects and thus rename the table. After this, create a new database table, leaving the earlier one. Updating sysobjects can corrupt the database more.
•    If above measures don’t give required results, use your recent database backup to restore.
•    In case of backup unavailability or backup errors, you should use third-party repair mdf applications.
