I have a SQL 2000 database whose MDF is approx. 105 GB. Everything has been working fine for months until this past weekend when the database server dropped offline. I restarted the services and SQL server looks to have started up okay. However, trying to access it via Enterprise Manager causes EM to hang. Checking the Windows event log, there are a whole series of messages stating ...

3455 : Analysis of database 'ptportal' (7) is XX% complete (approximately 61 more seconds)

This 'analysis' ran for over 12 hours ... I have never seen this run before, much less this long. Now, there are a new series of messages stating ...

3450 : Recovery of database 'ptportal' (7) is XX% complete (approximately 56526 more seconds) (Phase 2 of 3).

This 'recovery' has been running for 9 hours now. Does anybody have any idea what has happened here or what is going on? My guess is that this database has been corrupted and SQL Server is trying to do a repair? Anybody know how long this usually takes and what the success liklihood would be?

Thanks

Saw this in the other forum too - you need to call PSS to help you - we can't do this over a forum in any kind of timely manner.
