Error 8968: Table Error: IAM Page

  • Hi I'm looking for some help on the following error:

    Error 8968: Table Error: IAM Page(1:126078)(Object ID xxxxxxxx, Index ID 0) is out of range of this database.

    The error occurred when skrinking the log file

    Does anyone know what has caused this, and what's the solution to fix the error.

    Cheers

  • Sounds like you have some corruption.  Have you run CHECKDB?

  • I used command DBCC CHECKDB and this option no problem solution

  • This is a clear cut corruption issue, the heap table is effected.

    1. check the hardware by running diagnostic tool. check the system event log and replace the effected hardware.

    2. Restore the database from the backup

    3. if no backup is available then run dbcc checkdb with repair allow data loss. The IAM page is effected, performing a repair will cause the IAM chain to be rebuilt the page or the page is de-allocated. Data loss is sure. Better to have a good backup.

    Thanks Minaz Amin,

    I used this method and my exapmle is exhibits below:

    -- change mode for single_user

    alter database Place_Optivum set single_user

    --full repair database

    dbcc checkdb ('Place_Optivum', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)

    -- change mode for multi_user

    alter database Place_Optivum set multi_user

    this steps isn't solution problem too.

    I'm looking for the system log, application log and SQL Server log and i'm not see anything wrong.

    Thanks for help me,

  • Ok .. then ..got it while shrinking you receive this error. There is known issue let me check
