Suspect Database - Steps to Recovery

For reference, the steps I took to (successfully) recover a 2008 database that was marked as Suspect in Management Studio.

Run each separately, and review the results...


EXEC sp_resetstatus 'mySuspectDB'

ALTER DATABASE mySuspectDB SET EMERGENCY

DBCC CHECKDB('mySuspectDB')

ALTER DATABASE mySuspectDB SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

DBCC CHECKDB ('mySuspectDB', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)

ALTER DATABASE mySuspectDB SET MULTI_USER
