                                            | I support an ASP.NET application that uses a SQL Server database. The installed sites have SQL Server 2005 express, Standard or Enterprise, typically running on a server with Windows server 2008 O/S.There are in excess of 100 tables defined in the database one is named servicesgroups.This table (and only this table) seems to mysteriously disappear, randomly, and from all sites.The application has no 'drop table' statements at all, only  selects, deletes and updates to existing tables. I am at a total loss to understand how a table disappears, and wondering if it has something to do with the table name servicesgroups?Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. |

                                          | Someone or some app is dropping it. Data corruption doesn't cause missing tables. It causes high-severity errors. Run a profiler trace or look in the default trace for info on who dropped it and from where.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP  |
