Can’t Drop SQL Server Table

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.

Error 2535 and 8928 in SQL Server

SQL Server is Microsoft provided relational model database server. In addition to relational data, it also natively supports managing XML data. SQL Server is available in different versions that vary in terms of features and targeting users. But sometimes, you find issues while accessing its database contents. Such problems are more frequent in database tables when you try to run queries. It generally indicates table corruption. Tables are database components that store data. So, to restore lost information in this way, you need to use your recent backup. However, if backup is damaged, absent or not updated, MDF Repair tools can serve the purpose of database repair and restoration.

As a practical instance, when you try to run a SQL query on a table, you receive the following error message:

“Attempt to fetch logical page (1:42724) in database <database_name> belongs to object <table_name>, not to object ‘RRR’.Connection Broken..”

Further, when you run DBCC CHECKTABLE command with REPAIR_ REBUILD option, you encounter different error messages, similar to:

Server: Msg 2535, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table Corrupt: Page (1:42724) is allocated to object ID 1517248460, index ID 0, not to object ID 982294559, index ID 0 found in page header.

Server: Msg 8928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Object ID 1517248460, index ID 0: Page (1:42723) could not be processed. See other errors for details.

Cause

The above behavior occurs due to SQL database corruption inconsistencies, generally due to index corruption.

Solution

To resolve the above issues, you need to follow these steps:

.    Ensure that the database is online
.    Next, try rebuilding the database indexes using  DBCC DBREINDEX command
.    If problem persists, you require repairing the database using DBCC CHECKDB with the REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option. But the use of command forces some data to be lost.
