Microsoft SQL Server is an advanced RDBMS from Microsoft Corporation, which has three major versions- Microsoft SQL Server 2008, 2005, and 2000. It offers a wide range of features over the other database management systems, such as reliability, high-performance, and consistency. In order to check and fix consistency errors, it include DBCC CHECKDB tool. This is an inbuilt utility of the SQL Server that helps you perform SQL Database Recovery by fixing the common database problems.

DBCC CHECKDB is an advanced database maintainace command-line utility, which supports various parameters. You must follow the proper instructions while using these parameters, as some of the options may remove damaged data and cause complete data loss. DBCC CHECDB works in both physical and logical data problems. It provides errors that can be used to analyze the fix the problem.

However, under some circumstances, the command-line SQL recovery tool gives you error when it can not handle the problem. As an example of this problem with MS SQL Server database, consider the following error mesasge that occurs while scanning the database using DBCC CHECKDB command-

Server: Msg 8905, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Extent (1:6945936) in database ID 8 is marked allocated in the GAM, but no SGAM or IAM has allocated it.
Server: Msg 8905, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
