SQL Server error on update command - “A severe error occurred on the current command”

Question

Running the following query in SQL Server Management Studio gives the error below.

update table_name set is_active = 0 where id  = 3

Answer 1

I was having the error in Hangfire where I did not have access to the internal workings of the library or was I able to trace what the primary cause was.

Building on @Remus Rusanu answer, I was able to have this fixed with the following script.

    --first set the database to single user mode
    ALTER DATABASE TransXSmartClientJob
    SET SINGLE_USER
    WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;
    GO

    -- Then try to repair
    DBCC CHECKDB(TransXSmartClientJob, REPAIR_REBUILD)

    -- when done, set the database back to multiple user mode
    ALTER DATABASE TransXSmartClientJob
    SET MULTI_USER;
    GO
