A database is set of information that is well organized so that it can be accessed, managed, and updated easily. Data in a database is organized in form of rows, columns, and tables. It is further indexed to make it easier to find the relevant data when needed.
MS SQL Server database is most popular relational management systems, and is used by organizations and professionals. Despite the usefulness of this system, the database is sometimes prone to corruption. And this corruption results in inaccessibility of the data. A corrupted database is database in which some records may be lost and as result you are not able to perform the desired functions.
