    Restore the database from a clean backup, before the corruption occurred. You have some corruption more sever than just that table or checkDB wouldn't have aborted with an error

    Microsoft recommends For the TEMPDB database, create 1 data file per CPU.

  • RE: Drop table not working

    I said different scopes, not different batches. The batch is the unit of parsing (hence causing the OP's problem)

    CREATE PROCEDURE T1 AS

    CREATE TABLE #Temp1 (Col1 int)

    IF @@NESTLEVEL <= 10

    EXEC T1

    IF...

  • RE: Just curious, what are your SQL pet peeves ?

    Nolock

    Nested views

    Scalar UDFs

    Queries that try to handle too many possible cases

    Developers who think they know more than I do. 😉 :hehe:

    It seems that I have some corruption within a user database. Running DBCC CHECKDB results in the following error:

    Just to clarify and please correct me if I'm wrong here, but the temporary table would be in a scope of a session, not of a batch, regardless...

  • RE: using select Max with insert

    Indeed. There are far more ways to get this wrong than get it right, and even when right it often slows things down.

  • RE: Unable to restore backup file to different database

    Aside, you don't need to create a dummy database to restore over. Just restore the backup and specify the name you want the DB to have in the restore statement.
