Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a database that has Snapshot Isolation or Read Committed Snapshot Isolation level enabled in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014.
-
The database contains a non-empty table that has a multi-column clustered index. The leading key of the clustered index is set to NOT NULL.
-
You begin a transaction and add a column into the table. The value of this column is updated.
-
You alter the leading key of the clustered index to allow NULL value.
-
You insert rows with NULL values for the leading key of the clustered index, and then abort the transaction.
In this scenario, the rollback causes the database to go suspect and only "repairable" with DBCC CHECKDB REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS command. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
Msg 3316, Level 21, State 2, Line 135
During undo of a logged operation in database '%.*ls', an error occurred at log record ID %S_LSN. The row was not found. Restore the database from a full backup, or repair the database.
