Is-SQL-Database-in-SUSPECT-Mode

Also, events such as SQL server crash in the middle of a transaction, abrupt database termination, lack of disk space, etc., can bring the database in suspect mode. Consequently, database becomes inaccessible. The Stellar SQL recovery tool helps recover SQL database from suspect mode and restores SQL database to a normal state (online).
