Here are some articles to give you some insight on how to fix this problem:

I hope this helps, if not let me know and I will try to help you out some
other way or point you in the right direction. There is the possibility you
will lose data but you should be able to get the database back to working
order. Just make sure you have backups before you do anything these
articles mention. If none of this helps the folks at IB Phoenix can fix
these problems in a jiffy.
