(Quickie post #1 while it’s Kimberly’s turn to lecture this morning…)<\/p>\n

I had a comment on my post dealing with suspect databases<\/a>, saying that the 2008 behavior is much better. I hadn’t tried this so it was (really good) news to me.<\/p>\n

So, trying the same steps from that blog post on 2008 – everything’s the same up to the point where the server has been restarted and the database is suspect. Now, if\u00a0I try to detach the corrupt database, I get the following:<\/p>\n

\r\nEXEC sp_detach_db 'DemoSuspect';\r\nGO\r\n<\/pre>\n
\r\nMsg 3707, Level 16, State 2, Line 1\r\nCannot detach a suspect or recovery pending database. It must be repaired or dropped.\r\n<\/pre>\n
VERY COOL!!!!<\/em><\/u> This should *really* cut down the number of times people accidentally get themselves into trouble by detaching the database.<\/p>\n
For the sake of completeness, if I really want to detach the suspect database, I can do it in 2008 if I put the database into EMERGENCY<\/em> mode first (doesn’t mean I would though!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
