A start to get it fixed is show us the code you are running and the actual error message. There is an error number 606 in SQL Server, but it has nothing to do with decimal values.

Hello Erland,

According to the Database Engine events and errors (0 to 999) page, error code 606 indicates:

“Metadata inconsistency. Filegroup id %ld specified for table '%.ls' does not exist. Run DBCC CHECKDB or CHECKCATALOG.”

To diagnose the issue and get the exact corruption details, I recommend you run the following command on your database:

DBCC CHECKDB('databaseName') WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS;

If the DB corruption is confirmed, the safest resolution is to restore the database from a clean backup taken before the issue occurred.
