For sql server 2000 and earlier you may get 5242 and 5243 corruption in the record structure(for sql server 2005 onwards you may get 824).

Msg 5242, Level 22, State 1, Line 1

For sql server 2000 you can change the system objects (allow updates) which is not so easy in sql server 2005(not possible), so if you make the changes in system object and restore the database on sql server 2005, you may get below error.

Msg 8992, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Check Catalog Msg 3853, State 1: Attribute (object_id=xxx) of row (object_id=x,column_id=y) in sys.columns does not have a matching row (object_id=xxx) in sys.objects.

*Paul Randal has shown us how to correct these kind of problem, but PLEASE NO ONE SHOULD TRY THIS IN PRODUCTION.

Corrupt database, try DBCC CheckDB with TABLOCK to get exact issue, as TABLOCK will not create snapshot.

Msg 8967, Level 16, State 216, Line 1

SQL Server 2005 9.0.3161 on Win 2k3 R2

Error: 8624, Severity: 16, State: 1 Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not produce a query plan. For more information, contact Customer Support Services.

This issue appears to be related to the fact database compatibility is set to 80. I have filed a product bug for tracking purpose

Setting database compatibility to be 90 resolved the issue

On LOB data, PFS page looks full but it’s not, it’s a BUG on sql server 2005 SP2 and fixed in later version.

Msg 8914, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect PFS free space information for page (1:xxx) in object ID xxx, index ID 1, partition ID x, alloc unit ID xxxx (type LOB data). Expected value 0_PCT_FULL, actual value 100_PCT_FULL

Another Bug in sql server 2005 SP2 when you run DBCC DBREindex (for 2005 it is ALTER INDEX).

Msg 2511, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID x, index ID 1, partition ID xx, alloc unit ID xxx (type In-row data). Keys out of order on page (1:xxxxx), slots x and x.

To overcome this run ALTER INDEX instead of DBCC REINDEX .
