 The above command is used to turn off the suspect flag on a database. It updates the status and mode of columns which are named as sys.databases in the particular database.

ALTER DATABASE DB_Name SET EMERGENCY;

 Through this command, the database set on EMERGENCY mode becomes a READ_ONLY.

DBCC CHECKDB (‘DB_Name’);

 This command will check the integrity of all the database objects.

ALTER DATABASE DB_Name SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;
Via this command, you can set up the database to single user mode.
DBCC CHECKDB (‘DB_Name’, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS);

 This command plays an important role here. It’ll repair all the errors in SQL Server 2008 R2.

ALTER DATABASE DB_Name SET MULTI_USER;

 The above command will set the multi user mode in the SQL Server database. It’ll allow multiple users access the database file.

  • First of all, open the Object Explorer. Right-click the database in the tree-structure, and click Stop in the options.
  • Now go to the Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services.
  • On the Services section, find SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) in the list. Right-click it and click Stop in the options.
  • Now browse to this location:
  • C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA
  • In this step, you need to move the MDF and MSDBlog.ldf to any other folder or place.
  • Now copy the files (you’ve moved in the earlier step) from the new location and paste them to the old.
  • Go back to the Object Explorer window where the connection is still open. Now right-click the blank space, and this time click Start in the options.
  • Now you need to refresh the database file.
