BUG #: NT: 13108 (6.00) 16262 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
After you run the DBCC NEWALLOC command, the database usage count is left one more than the actual count. This would prevent you from setting the database in single user mode. The count remains incorrect until SQL Server is restarted.



WORKAROUND
Run DBCC CHECKALLOC instead.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.0 and 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 3 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.



MORE INFORMATION
The same problem may occur if you run "DBCC FIX_AL (database_name)".
