Tips to Resolve “Table error: Object ID.......was not seen in the scan” Error Message
A heap or clustered index in SQL Server is a way to effectively organize records saved in tables. These metadata structures enable the database user to increase retrieval speed of database records. While the heap index contains only the data pages, clustered index contains both index pages and data pages. Corruption in either of these indexes results in inaccessibility of all the database records. Few main reasons for index corruption are unexpected SQL Server shutdown, operating system malfunction, and virus attack. An easy way to surmount the problems created after index corruption is to restore the database from an updated backup. However, in case of database backup unavailability or backup falling short to restore the required data, the user needs to opt for an advanced third-party MDF Recovery application.
Consider a practical scenario, where you receive the below error message when your try to mount your database:
“Table error: Object ID O_ID. The text, ntext, or image node at page P_ID1, slot S_ID1, text ID TEXT_ID is referenced by page P_ID2, slot S_ID2, but was not seen in the scan.”
The above error message repeatedly occurs each time you attempt mount your database. Additionally, your database records become inaccessible after the above error message appears.
Cause:
The above error message occurs when the text node in a complex column in any heap or clustered index is corrupted.
Note: Index corruption can occur either due to logical or physical damage.
Resolution:
There are different resolutions for resolving resolving both logical and physical crashes. These resolutions are discussed below:
For physical damage, change the damaged system component with a new one.
For logical crashes, run DBCC CHECKDB command (with correct repair clause).
The above two resolutions provide absolute recovery of database components in most situations. However, if the database remains corrupted after the above error message you will need to use effective MDF Recovery services or tools. While the MDF File Recovery services (for physical corruption) is performed by extremely talented data recovery experts, repair through MDF file repair tools (for logical corruption) can be easily performed any technical or non-technical user.

intersting information David. Keep it up. In the begining this type of information may not attract much traffic but later on it will have constant flow of visitors to your hubs. Good work.
Okay, dwillium, I would love to understand this stuff but I am like vrbmft (who doesn't like vowels, it appears). Perhaps you might one day write a user friendly hub for those of us more attuned to what you might like to read or watch on television or perhaps even something on what you see every morning when you open your door. Meanwhile, I can only stand in awe at this foreign language you wield.
Thank goodness someone out there understands why our comps crash and knows how to repair said maladies. Unfortunately, the services you provide are necessary; fortunately you are there to provide them. :-)
Hello Denno66, i am here to share my experience to you and other.
hello premsingh,
Thanks a lot for such a nice suggestion, i will try and go forward.

I admire those like yourself that know this much and obviously more about data bases, error messages, and the like. I know a lot about the software components of Word Perfect and it is my best friend when it comes to word processing. And I can navigate through Hubpages and the like. But to move to your universe is beyond my horizon. Probably with a little help, it may become not so mysterious!! But, in short, I admire those like you who know this "stuff." For someone who has this problem, your info appears pretty easy to follow.
