Affects of Snapshot Isolation Level and Tempdb datafile full

Affects of Snapshot Isolation Level on Tempdb

Last weekend we face an issue where we got alert due tempdb datafile is 95.05% full, which is as usual for weekend but there is one thing unusual we found that log file was only 4 % full.

Suspect Pages in database

On Sunday evening we got an opportunity to run DBC checkdb on one of our suspected database (Of course UAT). And as usual we started checkdb from one of sessions on SQL box query analyzer. By the end of the day we realize it will take some more time to complete and we were expecting that by next day some one will kill our connection , while searching on internet we came to know about a table which gives us report of corruption “msdb..suspect_pages”

Cannot insert the value NULL into column ‘owner_sid’, table ‘msdb.dbo.sysjobs’
