We had a drive in the RAID 5 array that stores our MSSQL database
files (the .MDF's) that we repaired successfully... or so we thought.
Now we've encountered two problems (so far) with the SQL databases.

The first was a torn page that we corrected by restoring from a
backup.  The second appears to be an indexing error.  We ran a DBCC
CHECKDB and found errors in SysIndexes (a system table - this is SQL
2000, not 2005) and three user tables.

Currently we have no tools on-hand to deal with an issue like this.
Restoring *this* database is not an option because of the sheer amount
of manhours needed to recreate all of the data.  I've found a couple
of "repair and recovery" tools that look promising but I wanted to
poll the group to see if any of you had suggestions and experience
with anything.  What I'd love to have is something that will handle
things like a Transaction Log restore as well as other database repair
operations.  Also, are these tools just running SQL tasks behind the
scenes or are they performing actions that are not available normally?

Thanks!

Until Later!
