MS SQL Server is the most popular and widely used database management software. it provides concurrent access of a database from several different locations. SQL Server also provides the extended security and stability of your data.
But sometimes, when you try to open a database or MDF file or attempt SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE operation, you may fail to do it and instead of getting any result from these statements, you may get the following error message:

“Error: 5180, Severity: 22, State: 1

Could not open FCB for invalid file ID 0 in database ‘pubs’. Table or database may be corrupted.”
