An article on how to bring back a database from suspect mode



One of my articles is published in sqlservercentral.com recently. This is related to how to recover a database from suspect mode and triggered some controversial views from some folks. On the other hand it drew applause also from others. I would like to politely mention that this article is a step by step guide to help someone to come out of a situation when a database is in suspect mode and surely it is not focused on the details of actual architecture which can force to take a database to suspect.

I personally recommend to read the article and also all the comments it attracted to get a fair amount of idea on how to proceed if someone unfortunately faces similar scenarios beforehand. However if someone is experiencing the failure and found the article, then I believe it is best for him/her to bring the database online anyhow and then spend time to understand the actual reason of the failure.
