Fixing Error 8909 in SQL Database

The DBCC DBREINDEX is a Transactional-SQL command that rebuilds one or more indexes for a table in the SQL database. The DBCC SHRINKDATABASE is a T-SQL command which shrinks the size of the data and log files in the specified database. If these commands are executed concurrently on a particular table, the table is corrupted. In such situations, if the user has not created any back up, he can recover the table by using effective SQL Recovery software.

For example, when a user executes DBCC DBREINDEX concurrently with DBCC SHRINKDATABASE on a table, he encounters the below error message:

“Error: 8909

Table Corrupt: Object ID 0, index ID 0, page ID (1:623). Page Id in the page header = (0:0).”

The above error message halts the shrink operation and makes the table corrupt. The main cause of the above error message is that the user executes the shrink database and re-indexing operations at the same time. This error message mainly appears in multiprocessor environments. To prevent your SQL components from the above problem, the user needs to reschedule the operations to run at different times and turn off the Auto shrink option. To resolve the above error the user needs to execute DBCC CHECKDB command with repair_allow_data_loss option. This command reports the user that the error has been fixed although the error is not fixed. To resolve the error and access the table, the user needs to restore the table from the recent back up. But if the user has not maintained any back up, then he needs to use efficient SQL Recovery software.
