Summary:
Problem ID: PRSQL9110006
SYMPTOMS
The following error is encountered in the error log
Error 911: Attempt to locate entry in Sysdatabases for database
"BAD DATABASE NAME" by name failed - no entry found under that
name. Make sure that name is entered properly.
where "BAD DATABASE NAME" is typically empty or contains extended
characters.
This error generally has little impact on the database server. In
most cases it just logs meaningless 911 error messages to the error
log. However, on a few occasions a protection violation occurs.
CAUSE
This error is seen only during the checkpoint process if the
"truncate log on chkpt" database option is set, or if an explicit
"dump transaction xxx with truncate_only" is issued. However, the
error does not always occur if these options are set.
Please note that it is not advised that the "truncate log on chkpt"
option be set in production systems.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version
1.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
