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?
Hi All, By mistake i delete database from sql server. Due to which the the mdf and ldf file of the datbase are removed from my system. Then i used file recover utility and retrived my mdf and ldf files.But now i am not able to attach those files into databse. These mdf and ldf files has been corrupted. Now how can i recover my data from those mdf and ldf files.Please answer me if you have any solution on this problem.
Our SQL database log file got physically deleted. Now the database is in suspect mode. Is it possible to recover / restore the database just with the data file.
Recently, one of our database's mdf and ldf was corrupted. We were able tobring back the database with the capability of importing and querying thedata. However, the data is not the full list. Some of the data are stillmissing because the tables we want still has sone 'chain mis linkage' errorwhen we did a DBCC checkdb/checktable. DBCC couldn't fix those errorseither. We're pretty sure that there are some data still burry under thecorruption. Then we thought of the life LDF file. This file should haverecorded every transaction up to the point of failure. So we trying torecover that file, but there are 2 problems. First is we don't have back upof that file and 2nd, that file is also corrupted. I couldn't backup thecorrupted ldf file at its current state. It's giving me some unrelated errormessage like disk space is out. All I know now is the only hope to recoverthose missing data are in this LDF file. We tried to use this software fromLimingent Log Explorer to recover it. So far no such luck with that. SoI'm asking anyone who has similar experience or problem. Please let me know.I need to know anyway to recover this LDF file, either by using sql server'snative tools or 3rd party tools. Any input is helpfull. thanks in advance.Wei

I am working on SQL Server 2008 R2 and unfortunately I have lost my .mdf file after detaching it from my database, but the .ldf is still in my system. Is there a way to recover my database from .ldf file?
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.

My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file.

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!

Thank you very much. Fell free to correct me if I misspeled something.

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?
