Recover Database Help!
Oct 6, 2005
Hello,
Is it possible to restore a SQL 2000 database with data from a transaction log?
I am not sure what happened to my database, all the data in the tables is gone. I generated a db script to create a duplicate database. I saved the .sql file on my local machine, separate from the db server, renamed the database name in the .sql file to a new database. Tested script in query analyzer for syntax, all was fine. Running it at this point would have created a new database with a different name, right?
Now my original database is empty. Can someone please provide me with information on getting my data back. Is there a way of using the transaction log to recover the data.
Thanks

Howdy all -I am *not* a DBA, so please bear with me. A client's Windows 2000server went belly up yesterday afternoon after getting updates fromWindows Update. Wouldn't come up at all any more. I broke the mirrorfor the OS, rebuilt the Windows 2000 installation, and installed MS-SQL2000 and SP3 so that now the server is configured identically to whatit was before the crash.Now I have the databases in D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQLServerMSSQLData. D: is a mirror of the (now broken) oldinstallation. How can I get the databases into the active installationof MS-SQL on the C: drive?I was thinking of creating databases with the same name, shutting downSQL and copying the files from D: to C: but that sounds too easy.Any pointers greatly appreciated. Please remember that I am not anexperienced DBA, so use short words and speak slowly... :-)

Recently i got task from Senior DBA, as : Recover a database without LOG file Currently Data File is available.
Log file is also available, but shows size as 0 KB. Means Log file is corrupted.
Currently existing DB is shown as Offline Mode in SSMS.
So i got below link:
[URL]
When i tried 1st/2nd solution from above link, i got below message:The log cannot be rebuilt because there were open transactions/users when the database was shutdown, no checkpoint occurred to the database, or the database was read-only. This error could occur if the transaction log file was manually deleted or lost due to a hardware or environment failure.
To try that 3rd solution, I had to DELETE/Remove existing DB from SSMS, so i can create New DB with same name.
When i tried to delete Log file from Command Prompt, using below command, Windows replied that File is corrupted, so it cannot be deleted.
DEL /F /Q /A C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL11.SQLEXPRESS2012MSSQLDATAMyDB.ldf
Meanwhile my Senior DBA brought DB in Recovery Pending mode.
So if i want to go for 3rd solution,then i need to DELETE file, But Windows is not allowing me.

Hi,
I've my database, testdb, ended up in Suspect state. The SQL log shows " I/O error 38(Reached the end of the file.) detected during read at offset xxxxxxxxxx in file '<path> estdb_Data.MDF'" during recovery. I do not have backup to restore the database from. So to run DBCC CHECKDB, I tried to put the database in emergency(bypass recovery) mode using
update sysdatabases set status = 32768 where name = 'testdb'
DBCC CHECKDB showed some allocation and consistency errors and suggested "repair_allow_data_loss" as minimum repair level.
Now to run
DBCC CHECKDB('testdb', repair_allow_data_loss)
I've to put database in SINGLE USER mode. For that I started SQL server by command
sqlservr.exe -c -m
Now when I try to run DBCC CHECKDB with repair option it says "Attempt to BEGIN TRANSACTION in database 'testdb' failed because database is in BYPASS RECOVERY mode."
So it seems I need to change the status of database such that it will allow me to repair it. If I try to reset the status, the database again goes in Suspect state and it seems DBCC commands don't run on database in Suspect state. Does anybody know how to recover the database in this state? Is there any other way to repair it?
Thanks in advance,
Yojana

I ran into a problem today where I had to pull a backup file from an older tape. The file was originally is a backup that was stored in a device like :
EXEC sp_addumpdevice
'disk', --type
'c2000_BackupDevice', --logical name
'\UNCPathackupFile.bak' --physical location
I put the file from the tape on a File Server and then tried to create a new backup device pointing to the file. That's easy enough, but when I try to restore from it I get an device error saying it's offline.
How can I get that device attached to my server and then extract the backup files stored inside it?
Please advise b/c this is an interesting problem I hadn't anticipated and it argues that I should change my backup strategy .
Thanks for any advice/experience you can provide,

I have SQL server 2000 which recently crashed. I try to recover it andfound out that the Master database is corrupt. I never backup myserver using inline sql backup nor any third party backup program thataware to SQL server. But I have full system backup of volume c on tape(using NTBackup), which includes old version of Master database. Myquestions are:1. How can I recover this file into SQL server?2. If so, it is not risky to recover Master database from two weeksago?Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am working with SQL Server2000 and I have done a horrible thing here.
We here have an script that delete all data from all user tables of a database, and I run it in the master DATABASE.
As we don't made backups of this database, now somethings of the database aren't working.
Here is the script:
declare @table_name sysname
declare @alter_table_statement varchar(256)
declare @delete_statement varchar(256)
-- definindo o cursor...
declare table_name_cursor cursor local fast_forward for
select
name
from
sysobjects
where
xtype = 'U'
and
name <> 'dtproperties'
-- desligando os vínculos...
open table_name_cursor
fetch next from table_name_cursor into @table_name
select @alter_table_statement = 'alter table ' + ltrim(rtrim(@table_name)) + ' nocheck constraint all'
exec(@alter_table_statement)
while @@Fetch_Status = 0
begin
fetch next from table_name_cursor into @table_name
select @alter_table_statement = 'alter table ' + ltrim(rtrim(@table_name)) + ' nocheck constraint all'
exec(@alter_table_statement)
end
close table_name_cursor
open table_name_cursor
fetch next from table_name_cursor into @table_name
select @delete_statement = 'delete from ' + ltrim(rtrim(@table_name))
exec(@delete_statement)
while @@Fetch_Status = 0
begin
fetch next from table_name_cursor into @table_name
select @delete_statement = 'delete from ' + ltrim(rtrim(@table_name))
exec(@delete_statement)
end
close table_name_cursor
open table_name_cursor
fetch next from table_name_cursor into @table_name
select @alter_table_statement = 'alter table ' + ltrim(rtrim(@table_name)) + ' check constraint all'
exec(@alter_table_statement)
while @@Fetch_Status = 0
begin
fetch next from table_name_cursor into @table_name
select @alter_table_statement = 'alter table ' + ltrim(rtrim(@table_name)) + ' check constraint all'
exec(@alter_table_statement)
end
close table_name_cursor
deallocate table_name_cursor
I have tried to restore master table with the restore function, but it doesn't work. When I try to do this I received a message informing that it can't copy the data because one file was in use. The server was in a single user mode.
Is there anyway to recover the data that I have lost?

One of the database in our SQL Server 2000 environment is in the suspect status. We need to bring it back to the normal status.
The problem occurred because the disk on which the data file and log file for this database were placed ran out of space.
Pls note other databases in the same server are working fine.
Later on more space was made available on this disk. We tried the following options but with no success.
1. Reset the status of database and restarted the SQL Server. After restarting the SQL Server, the database once again was showing the suspect status.
2. Used the same data and log file in another SQL Server and attached with the database in this another SQL Server.
3. Tried dbcc chkdb with repair_allow_data_loss.
Since the database is in suspect status, we are neither able to export the data nor able to back up the database.
Please suggest some options to recover the database from the suspect status. Also it would be great if we can get the commands, scripts to find if the data/log file is corrupt and a way to correct it (even with data loss is fine).
