Hello. Using MSSQL 2000\SP3 with SunSystems 5.1.5. Have received the following SQL error message: "Fatal Error 8908 occurred at May 11, 2008, 1:20PM" What does this mean? We have been having trouble with this database for about a week. This error both pre-dates and continues since the following script was run in QA, as prescribed by our Sun helpdesk:
UPDATE SALFMSC

SET HIGH_JRNAL= '13754' WHERE D_BASE = 'WCS' AND A_B = 'A'

The script was successful in allowing us to re-access most of the database (continue our work). But some reports are still blocked by this error. Other messages include: "Communication Link Failure".

Ideas

The first thing I would do is run a DBCC CHECKDB()

Have a look here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa226351(sql.80).aspx

Thanks. I did that, and it seems to be suggesting a REPAIR_REBUILD. Here is the bottom line of the multipage result:
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 8 consistency errors in database 'SUNDB'.
repair_rebuild is the minimum repair level for the errors found by DBCC CHECKDB (SUNDB ).

But, I can't seem to get the script right (I'm a hack at SQL, sorry). It's not: DBCC CHECKDB ("SUNDB",REPAIR_REBUILD) -- so what is the script? You're help is a dream.

It should be: DBCC CHECKDB ('SUNDB',REPAIR_REBUILD)

(single quotes, not double)
