subject: What To Do When Error 8932 Is Encountered In The System Tables In Ms Sql Sever 2000 Database [print this page] The system tables in MS SQL Server databases are used to store the information of MS SQL Server and other important components. These system tables contain all of its primary details in another field called the metadata. The information in the system tables is so critical that the average user does not have the rights to modify these. That is why it comes very imperative to recover the system tables if these get damaged or corrupt. To recover SQL table, you can perform different types of methods. If the methods do not succeed, then you should look for third-party SQL database recovery software to recover MDF file.
Let us assume a situation in which you are facing the following error message on one of the system tables in the MS SQL Server 2000 database:
Table error: Object ID O_ID, index ID I_ID, column 'COLUMN'. The column ID COL_ID is not valid for this table. The valid range is from 1 to MAX_COL_ID.
Cause:
The root cause responsible for this problem is that the metadata of the system table is damaged as it has a column ID whose value is larger than the highest column ID in the table.
Resolution:
SQL recovery in such situations requires you to perform the following troubleshooting methods, ideally in the given order:
Resolve errors that caused hardware malfunctioning: First things first, check and resolve the errors that may have caused the corruption in the hardware components. To do this, you can perform the following methods:
Run hardware diagnostics and fix the errors that occur
Check the Error logs and try to address the errors that may have appeared due to hardware issues
If the issue is quite persistent, then see if you have write-caching enabled on the hard disks. If yes, then contact your local hard disk provider for the appropriate solution.
Restore backup of database: If the issue is not because of the hardware problem, then replace the database with its clean and updated backup.
Run DBCC CHECKDB: If the previous method does solve the problem, then runs DBCC CHECKDB with the suggested repair clause.
In most of the situations, you would be able to operate smoothly on the MS SQL Server 2000 database after performing these methods. However, in case it is not possible you should take the services of a third-party MDF file recovery software. Such SQL database recovery tools are very easy to use and do not overwrite the existing database while performing .MDF recovery.
