Error: 644, Severity: 21, State: 3

How do I actually identify the table to which the index that is having the p
roblem applies? The error message detail gives me an "index page (1:427282)
" and an "index ID 0", in addition to the "RID some long binary string". In
order to reindex using DBC
C DBREINDEX, I need to know the table.
Also, this is the second time in a couple of weeks we've had this problem.
We've used DBCC CHECKDB with the rebuild/repair option (which requires the d
atabase be in single-user mode), received an error of similar kind on tempdb
, then used DBCC DBREINDEX
on the table (which we knew by fortuitous circumstance), and that resolved i
t...for about a week-and-a-half. What should we look into as the potential
cause of this recurrence?
Thanks!Not sure your SQL build, but there was an article for updates under Read
Uncommitted isolation with sort and spool operations:

> Thanks!|||Thanks, Chris. I read that article, as well as a couple of others on the 64
4 error. Unfortunately, we don't seem to be doing any of the things mention
ed (such as collating a unicode column with Latin1_General_BIN, or using upp
ercase preference sort orde
r on a column, etc.).
Also, none of them tell me how to translate the Index Page, Index ID, or RID
Binary String into the actual table to which the Index belongs. That's one
of the things I really need to know in order to further troubleshoot and re
solve this problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

tempdb, your server is experiecing hardware faults and you should be
prepared for failure. There is no such Index ID 0 anywhere in MSSQL. That
error shows up in only a few "bug fixes" as mentioned previously.

Too bad you're not the guy responsible for our server hardware He insist
s it can't be hardware, it's all redundantly fault-tolerant, so my earlier s
uggestions to look for a disk failure have not been heard...
Meanwhile, I'm still hoping someone can tell me how to locate the table, giv
en the info in the error message. The MSDN SQL Server Troubleshooting page
that corresponds to this error says:
1. Record the value of index page and index ID...
2. Identify which table and index correspond to the index page number.
...
But nowhere does it tell me how to get from step 1 to step 2! How do I iden
tify the table and index from the index page and index ID?
Thanks again,
John|||AN indid = 0 is a heap table ( no clustered index)..
The DBCC PAGE command will give you the object ID that the page belongs to,
then (in the appropriate db)
select object_name(id) will give you the table name
DBCC page details can be found at

What kind of hardware is this? HP/Compaq? If so, I suggest upgrading
firmware of the controller. It may not be hard disk problem but
controller.
