MSSQLSERVER_8992

Details

Explanation

DBCC CHECKCATALOG or DBCC CHECKDB found an inconsistency in the system metadata tables for the specified object. That is, there is an inconsistency between the recorded object ID and the object specified in error message.

This error can occur when one or more system tables has been manually updated in a way that creates an inconsistency in the system metadata. For example, a user may have manually deleted an object from the sysobjects table without removing associated rows in other tables such as sysindexes and syscolumns.

This error can occur when running DBCC CHECKDB against a database that has been upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 or later. In SQL Server 2000, DBCC CHECKDB did not include DBCC CHECKCATALOG functionality, so the error would not be caught before upgrade unless DBCC CHECKCATALOG was specifically executed against the database in SQL Server 2000.

You may see any of the following errors in conjunction with error 8992:
