  • RE: DB Corruption - Object ID 0

    Drop the indexes. Then, once they're dropped run CheckTable on the two tables and see if there's any corruption remaining.

    Seconded. It's excellent.

  • RE: DB Corruption - Object ID 0

    No, because there will be other errors that indicate which object it's part of.

    Without seeing the entire output of CheckDB I can't tell you how to fix it.

  • RE: 2008 R2 AWE use, work in service packs?

    "Next version" always means next major version, not next service pack.

    Upgrade advisor is for upgrading major versions (eg to 2012 or 2014), it doesn't check anything regarding applying service packs
