Environment
SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2019

Cause
This is generally caused by a corrupt LDF file.

Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up before performing this procedure.*

To correct this, the databases can be rebuilt using the following script replacing DBName with the database name.

ALTER DATABASE DBName SET EMERGENCY
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
go
USE MASTER
go
DBCC CHECKDB (DBName, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS
go
EXEC sp_resetstatus DBName
