If a database file is corrupted, SQL Server might fail to open it. Try running `DBCC CHECKDB` to check for corruption. If corruption is detected, restore the database from a backup, or attempt to repair the database using `WITH REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS` (use with caution as it can lead to data loss). A full database backup is highly recommended before attempting repairs.
