Database 'distribution' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery

Last week I faced an error on testing environment while right click on my subscriber and article property. 
 ------------------------------
Database 'distribution' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server error log for more information. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 926)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft%20SQL%20Server&ProdVer=11.00.5058&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=926&LinkId=20476
------------------------------




After that I found my replication set-up is stopped...   In according to error and without any doubt I was clear this issue is related to Distribution database. Either it has been corrupted or anything else goes wrong with DB...  


Then I started googling and digging inside replication configuration, architecture and setup (publisher-distributor and subscriber). I found some help from mytechmantra.com to recover any database if corrupted. So I tried some steps as below… I did 5 steps to correct the issue:

  1. ALTER DATABASE distribution SET EMERGENCY
  2. ALTER DATABASE distribution SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
  3. DBCC CHECKDB (distribution)
  4. DBCC CHECKDB (distribution, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
  5. ALTER DATABASE Distribution SET MULTI_USER


First I run:

ALTER DATABASE distribution SET EMERGENCY

Result got change like below

Then I run:

ALTER DATABASE distribution SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
  
Result got on msg below like below :

Nonqualified transactions are being rolled back. Estimated rollback completion: 0%.
Nonqualified transactions are being rolled back. Estimated rollback completion: 100%.

Then I run below

DBCC CHECKDB (distribution)

I find lots of errors in message windows like below

There are 0 rows in 0 pages for object "MSnosyncsubsetup".
Msg 8948, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Database error: Page (1:522) is marked with the wrong type in PFS page (1:1). PFS status 0x0 expected 0x60.
  
Msg 8948, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Database error: Page (1:521) is marked with the wrong type in PFS page (1:1). PFS status 0x0 expected 0x60.
Msg 8906, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Page (1:856) in database ID 11 is allocated in the SGAM (1:3) and PFS (1:1), but was not allocated in any IAM. PFS flags 'MIXED_EXT ALLOCATED   0_PCT_FULL'.
Msg 8980, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
  
CHECKDB found 8 allocation errors and 22 consistency errors in database 'distribution'.
Repair_allow_data_loss is the minimum repair level for the errors found by DBCC CHECKDB (distribution).
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator


Then I decided to repair this error using below command:

DBCC CHECKDB (distribution, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)

There are 0 rows in 0 pages for object "MSnosyncsubsetup".
DBCC results for 'MSrepl_commands'.
Msg 8948, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Database error: Page (1:522) is marked with the wrong type in PFS page (1:1). PFS status 0x0 expected 0x60.
        The error has been repaired.
There are 87 rows in 5 pages for object "MSrepl_commands".
CHECKDB found 1 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in table 'MSrepl_commands' (object ID 501576825).
CHECKDB fixed 1 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in table 'MSrepl_commands' (object ID 501576825).
DBCC results for 'MSrepl_originators'.

There are 0 rows in 0 pages for object "sys.filetable_updates_2105058535".
CHECKDB found 8 allocation errors and 23 consistency errors in database 'distribution'.
CHECKDB fixed 8 allocation errors and 23 consistency errors in database 'distribution'.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.


Finally good message comes after below command:

ALTER DATABASE Distribution SET MULTI_USER




Error goes out and replication started fi9...

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >>    Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >>    Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

He was using “Deploy Database to SQL Azure” option from SSMS Tool-Task option. After connecting to SQL Azure portal when operation started to deployment below errors occurs. Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
