In SQL 2000 the word "suspect" was displayed (via Enterprise Manager) next to the database, and the respective database icon was grayed out. Why was this behavior changed for SQL 2005 From a disaster recovery standpoint, it is very important to see immediately if a database is in suspect mode. Hi, I've ch ...Show All
