I have a dept who would prefer I repair instead of restore else they'll lose 4 hours of work:
DBCC CHECKDB with PHYSICAL_only output:
DBCC results for 'sysdevcq'.

Can I repair or shall I restore? Where is Paul Randall when I need him.... :)
cheers

Paul will probably be along in a few hours. Or he might be on vacation.
Restore is always the preferred option. Repair is, in most cases, for when you can't restore because you have no clean backup (or no backup at all).
If you have backups and the DB's in full recovery, then you can restore with absolutely no loss of work. Back up the tail of the log, restore the full backup, restore all the logs, in order. If you had repaired, you would have lost two pages of the table cq.history, plus the LOB data for those rows.
Have you checked the windows event log and any RAID/SAN logs that you have? Typically corruption's a hardware issue.

Repairing here would have lost two pages of table data - but I might still have been tempted to restore the backups and see if those two pages were in the backup with the data on - then run repair to deallocate the pages in the corrupt database and pull over the deleted data from the restored copy.
Restore *is* usually the way to recover with no data-loss, but a more severe downtime SLA might trump the data-loss SLA and force a repair rather than a restore... especially if the backup strategy doesn't support targetted restores. Shame you're on 2000 - you might have been able to use single-page restore to get through this.
Certainly looks like I/O subsystem corruption to me - possibly a RAID controller having stale-read problems?
Thanks

Hi Gail and Paul
Thanks for the reply. I restored from our backup and ran DBCC CHECKDB with NO_INFOMSGS again and we still have corruption:
Msg 8909, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID 0, index ID 0, page ID (1:1515894). The PageId in the page header = (0:2).
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 1 consistency errors not associated with any single object.
Msg 8928, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Object ID 181575685, index ID 255: Page (1:1515893) could not be processed. See other errors for details.

Object ID 181575685, index ID 255: Page (1:1515894) could not be processed. See other errors for details.
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 3 consistency errors in table 'cq.attachments_blob' (object ID 181575685).
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 4 consistency errors in database 'sysdevcq'.
repair_allow_data_loss is the minimum repair level for the errors found by DBCC CHECKDB (sysdevcq ).
I will now go back to tape to get an earlier backup. In the meantime I'm going to attempt a repair on the current DB.
cheers
thanks

Means that the corruption was present in that backup. Do you run checkDB regularly?
If this is 2005, check the error log for the startup messages. As SQL brings the DBs online, it will print a message to the error log saying when CheckDB last ran without errors

You might want to call MS support and work through this, checking to see if you might have hardware issues.

Great tip. It would be nice to also get a warning in the error log if a CHECKDB has
never
been run against the databases.
