dbcc checkdb

bab
I ran "dbcc checkdb(MCMSdb) with no_infomsgs" and I get the following:
Server: Msg 8946, Level 16, State 12, Line 2
Table error: Allocation page (1:274992) has invalid PFS_PAGE page
header values. Type is 0. Check type, object ID and page ID on the
page.

What cane be done to correct this problem?
Can this error prevent a user from connecting to the database?

You can search on the string 8946 in Books Online.

As I understand the topic, the only way to repair is restore from a
clean backup. DBCC can repair many problem, but the topic says that if
the error is in an PFS_PAGE it's not repairable. (I'm looking at Books
Online for SQL 2000. 2005 may be different.)
Can this error prevent a user from connecting to the database?
As such, I don't think so. But a user who hits this broken page may
experience an assertion error and be disconnected. And if the page is
hit while logging into the server, then connection may fail.

This error can't be repaired in any version of SQL Server - you must restore
from a backup.

Hi All Bit of confirmation needed really, as I've just come home and found that my PC is only running SQL 7.0, when I know the below code only works in SQL 2000 (I think!!!). What I want to do is put a particular DB in single user mode, do a DBCC repair_rebuild then put it back to how it was all from a text file that is executed via osql (MSDE's isql equivalent). Will the below do it?

Greetings: I have a SQL 2000 server with several databases on it, and I have a maintenance plan that includes both a backup and a CHECKDB Integrity Check. The backups appear to run correctly each night, but if a user leaves a connection open to a database all night, the CHECKDB fails. I'd like to be able to kill all client connections before each backup

I have a table where I store around 1 million rows for 7 days. I run a DBCC SHOWCONTIG every week and I noticed that the number of Rows and the Average Free Bytes are stable but the number of Extents and the Average Record Size keeps increasing. Any idea how to explain this incrase? and how to stop it? Will DBCC DBREINDEX will help? Here is my data: Rows: 1166273 (same as last week) Extents: 147099 (+10% since last week)

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
