Hi
When we issue a DBCC SHRINKFILE with empty option, the data file
is removed and the space is alloted back to the OS.
Same way when we issue a an ALTER DATABASE to remove a database,
all the data files and transaction log files are dropped.
But can these files be recovered again by using any of the disk
recovery tools?

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... :-)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI had several jobs scheduled in the SQL Server Agent before I upgraded from MSDE to 2005 Express. I planned to recreate the jobs in the scheduler later, now it's been a couple of months and I realize that we hadn't kept those scripts outside the database anywhere. Is there any way to recover those job files? We have database backup files going back quite a while, but I'm not sure how I'd go about restoring them. I guess I'd need an instance of SQL Server 2000 (which I have). Would I just restore an old backup there? Is there an easier way?
I'd be grateful for any help you can give.

My scenario -
-Dev server lost all its raid drives (which included user data/log files and ALL backups)
-Raid drives were removed from server, so we could try and recover the data (not sure why they had to remove them)
-Recreating the user db's isn't an issue, but I REALLY need to retrieve the jobs from the MSDB (developer was working on dts package for the last 2 months, but didn't check it in to VSS)
-Since the System DB's (model, master, msdb) were installed on the C drive, I was able to recover their mdf/ldf files.
So we build an new server and recreated the user db's.
How do I go about getting the jobs data from the msdb database?
I've tried the following -
Started SQL server with the -T3608 and was able to detach the MSDB database, but when I go to reattach using the mdf/ldf files from the other server I get the following error message.
Error 5172: The header for the file 'C:mssqldatamsdbdata.mdf' is not a valid database file header. The PageAudit property is incorrect
I've been doing some research and found a lot of great articles on how to RESTORE (from backup - dont have) or Rebuild (wipes out the data I'm looking for) the MSDB, but not how to replace it with only the ldf/mdf files....
Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS - All backups are now being copied to another server (lesson learned)
I created a project with multiple packages. I created a global
config file that all packages reference. I also created a config file
for each package that contains the package specific settings. I
checked it all into TFS. I went to a different machine and checked it
all out. Upon loading a package into the IDE I got the following 3
warnings.

I have set the environment set for AutoRecover (for every 3 minutes and Keep information for 7 days under the SSMS 2014 Menu: Tools -> Option ->Environment -> AutoRecover).
I've rebooted the box and restarted the SQL Server service and nothing seems to create the files.
Hello.
One of our hard drives has crashed and as a result we have lost our master mdf/ldf & user db mdf/ldf files. It's not that a critical system by any means, but if the hard drive crashes and the master mdf/ldf files & user db mdf/ldf are lost, is there any way of restoring the system?
I'm thinking we probably need to re-install Enterprise Manager completely, and re-install the user db from a backup.
Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I need to receover lost data. My colleague ran a database creation script to create a new database, from Sql Query Analyzer. While doing this, an existing database was selected in the combo box that appears on the top,which led to deletion of records from the existing database. I have a backup of the d.base taken 10days ago. The data was lost yesterday. Is there any way I can restore the database to the previous condition.
Hi, I was wondering after I had deployed my data base on the internet and made some modifications with her, what is the best approach to recover the data base deployed? Now if I'm changing some stored procedure in the data base deployed I have to make the same change in the original data base, it gives me a lot of work.
Thank you very much.
Fell free to correct me if I misspeled something.

Hello!
Hopefully someone can help me with the following (potentially huge) problem:
We've got a simple database application running on microsoft sql desktop engine. This database contains two tables. Up until now all worked fine, but probably due to a programma that crashed part of the database seems to be corrupted or broken while today only one table contains/returns data and the other table does not return any values!
When I open the .ldf and .mdf files in notepad I see that there is data belonging to both the tables. But how do I recover it??
The max. size of the database has not been reached by far (it's only 9Mbs), the sql queries are correct.
This .ldf file is a log file (?) I can't find detailed info about the principles of these .ldf and .mdf files on the internet, is it possible to trace back what has happened en recover the database that way?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Rens Voogd

We lost all the data we had in a table. We restored the db and the transaction log up to a point in time, but could still not recover the table. We eventually only do db restore without the transaction log. We recovered the data in the table in question, but lost all the data entered that particular day. Does any body have a solution or suggestion that can help? I will be greatly appreciated.

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?
