How to repair or re-upgrade only TfsBuild database in TFS 2008SP1?

Recently with a lots of troubles I upgraded TFS 2005 to TFS 2008. The latest issue that I hacked was missing columns in TFSBuild database.

We mostly are using Source Control and Work Items functionality of TFs, antd they work fine after conversion for a few weeks.

But now when we tried to use builds, we've got the errors(see below).

Is it possible to repair or re-upgrade only TfsBuild database in TFS 2008SP1 without affecting source control functionality?

All SPs in TfsBuild are encrypted, that make it harder to investigate/workaround.

Description of the error:
TF53010: The following error has occurred in a Team Foundation component or extension:

I followed Buck Hodges suggestion to " drop the columns that you hacked in and run repair". It fixed the problem.

Hi Michael

There's no way to just repair the TfsBuild database. We might be able to rely on the reparation of TFS. And repair TFS from the installation media will repair all databases. Back up database is a must before you take further actions. And this article describes how to back up TFS.
