Recovering A Deleted Database.

I accidentally deleted at SQL 2005 database. Is there any way I can get it back? No, there is no backup.
Any ideas how I can recover a job that has been deleted (?) from SQL7.0 ? We had one which was used on a regular basis which has nowceased to exists. I've spoken to the people responsible for the serverand was met by blank faces (as usual). They have no idea when it wasdeleted, by whom or when. To make matters worse, they don't think theycan get it off the backup set without a major bit of work to theserver. Suprisingly, none of the users noticed that things had stoppedworking.Unfortunately, I needed to do some work on this in preparation for mymonthly meeting with my boss on Monday. Whilst I'm not to blame, I'dlike to understand a little more about any options available to us forrecovery as he will undoubtedly ask when he finds out.I have an old back up on another server, so it's not the end of theworld re-creating it, but I was under the impression it was backed upproperly. Is this normal or have they missed something ?Are there any ways I can recover this ? What can I get done to thebackup to make sure this is backed up properly ?Thanks in advance.Ryan
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe occasionally use TruncateTable to delete the contents of a number of tables on our SQL Server 7 database. We then build them anew from an outside source. I am finding that the size of the database (and corresponding backup file) has grown significantly. As I understand it, the space representing the deleted records is retained by the database. I have investigated using various DBCC commands, to no avail. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can recover this lost space? ... Thanking you in advance.

Any ideas on how long it should take SQL Server 6.5 running on a 8 Gig RAID 0 array to "recover" a 4 GIG database. I rebooted the machine this morning (seldom ever have any problems with it) and it seems to be taking an awfully long time (15 min so far). I'll let you know what happens in any case.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to recover a database, but unfortunatelly i don´t have any backup... Well, it was not my fault. Anyway, i only have the physical .DAT files of the data and log devices of the database.
Will it work if I create two devices with the same name as the old devices, create a database with the same name as the old database within these devices and then run a full script of my old database, then change the 'phy_name' on the sysdevices to point to where my old dats were, or replacing the current ones with the old ones? If not, will anything else work?
Thanks in advance.

I have a 3GB DB that I was running an update script on. The sript failed and ran out of transaction log space. I expanded it and stopped and restarted SQL. The user DB is now marked as recovering. How long should I wait for it to recover? I don't want to have to restore again and start all over with my script. Please help.
(By the way this is a restored DB)
Thanks.

I am in a big trouble ,
accidently i have issued a DROP DATABASE XXX command in the sql client, thinking its a local server....... The whole 4 months of database database is now dropped.
Please help me , how can i recover the database ....
thanks in advance
What should I have done? Is there anything that can be done other than restoring from backup?
How does one know if the database is really recovering or is EM just joken? I can wait 2 hours
before starting the restore
I was BCPing 12 million rows into a staging table. II used the '-b' option every 20K which I thought
would do a commit and clear the log in batches. After the process EM appeared to show the transaction log
as empty. Upon inspecting the Bcp output file I discovered the message that the BCP did not complete
because syslogs was full. I could not do a truncate transaction log or a dump database. I tried to
do a truncate transaction with no_log and it appeared to just hang. I stopped the SQL Server thinking
I could dump the transaction log, but could not start the Sql Server again. I then stopped the NT Server
because 'if all else fails'. The SQL Server started but the user database if marked as recovering.
We currently have a company program in foxpro which inputs all of our information into its database. We are trying to shift from this to new updated software and a SQL database. There is a program we created which converts all the data from our old database into our new SQL database in preparation for our final move to the newer software. However, some of the tables in SQL were not taken directly from our old database but rather added in directly after our initial use of SQL, so when we ran our conversion software, a couple of specific tables were wiped because there was no equivilant within our old database. We already altered our conversion program to not touch those tables again, but is there any way to do a roll back or to find a backup of specific tables?

A friend of mine called and said that his database was suspect and he detached it and was unable to attach it. The SQL Server Version is 2000 with the latest service packs installed. When I checked it the database (MDF) size was 1MB and the LDF size was 3.8 GB. I was not able to attach the two together and I was not able to attach the database using sp_attach_single_file_db. I did find an old backup of his database and attached that so he can work off of it but it is 1 yr old and he needs recent data. Since the MDF seemed to be blank we cant do much with that, but there seems to be data in the LDF. Is it possible to extract any data from the LDF file?

Hello,
I was coping database from my sql server 2005 to the same server but with different name. 4 steps completed successfully but the last step failed because the computer on which sql server is running turned off unexpectedly. When the server was running again, the source database was detached. I tried to attached it but sql server is reporting error 5 (system cannot access the specified file) I cannot access the file from windows explorer too. I discovered that the copy of the mdf file exists with the name of the target database but when I try to attach this new mdf file sql server reports that the file is not primary database file. Both files are the same size. What can I do? Thanks
Is it possible to know that who has deleted the database
Thanks in advance
Our past CIO deleted a SQL Server database because he didn't know what it was or if we needed it. Guess what we do! We were able to undelete the backup files but when we try to restore from it we get the error "No a valid backup" Any ideas?
Thank you for any help. :eek:
database : MS SQL server ver 6.50.201
problem: server startup / server time out
details
SQL server shows usage of 100 % CPU utilization, if started automatically / manually. and does not proceed / hangs up(server time out), but win nt operates extremely slow.
The background of the situation in brief is as stated below.
The errorlog was found to have the messages
warning : OPEN OBJECTS parameter may be too low.
Attempt was made to free up descriptors in localdes()
Run sp_configure to increase parameter value.
Error : 644, severity : 21, state; state 1
the non clustered leaf row entry for page 2 row 1 was not found in index page 40 indexid 2 database 'tempdb'
Error : 2620 severity 21 state 3
the offset of the row number at offset 32 does not match the entry in the offset table of the follwoing page : page pointer = 0x1395800, page no= 40, status = 0x2, objectid = 1, indexid = 2
Action taken
I used the sp_option to increase the open objects from default 500 to 1000, and the LE threshold maximum value to 400 from the default 200.
after which I used reconfigure go and restarted the computer to take the effect. The following did work fine and server was working ok. But then from yesterday I am having the problem that the MS SQL sever is utilizing the cpu to 98 - 99 % and I am not able to connect to the server.
I tried to start the server with the minimal configuration by specifying the -f option in the service manager start up options, it showed the following message
00/12/07 10:40:49.73 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
00/12/07 10:40:50.02 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
afterwhich I tried with the option of starting the sql server with the option -c -f
which in the event detail of the win nt shows
"mesg 18109: Recovery dbid 6 ckpt(55813,8) oldest tras= (55813,0)"
The open procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR60.DLL" has taken longer than the established wait time to complete. The wait time in milliseconds is shown in the data.

When connecting to an SQL Server (v7 in this case) the log file shows that old and deleted databases are still being opened as part of the process. Further, these db names are now reserved and cannot be reused, even thought I've deleted them.
Is there any way I can purge all traces of these deleted db names?
You might have guessed, I'm a newbie, which is why there are a few dozen deleted DBs.
Thanks for any help

I posted this in the SQL Server Express forum as well...
My app deployed via ClickOnce. It ships with a database creation script which creates the database in the ClickOnce data directory. Upon uninstall, the entire data folder is deleted successfully. But if you then reinstall the app, SQL Server Express still thinks the database exists. Right now, to get a re-install to work, I have to go into Management Studio Express, click on the db (get an pop-up error as the physical db file is no longer there) and then click delete.
So my question is... what system proc should I execute in the db creation script before I run the CREATE DATABASE command?
Hi
I am in a trouble without doing any mistake. I restarted while in parallely my sql server was restarting i.e I opened a management studio.
When it booted up next time. I see that my database is gone. Though it is showed up in the server but has no node below it.
I then checked the mdf files and ldf files and found mdf file to be of 0 KB and ldf file is of 1.73 GB. My database was in full recovery mode but i did not take any database backup.
Here ais the entry from my SQL server log:
The operating system returned error 38(Reached the end of the file.) to SQL Server during a read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAHello.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
I wonder if now there is a case to recover my database..Can I restore/recover the database from .ldf file as it was in full recovery model?Any help i shighly appreciated.
I have detached the database via sp_detach_db in a job, (I was trying to use a job to detach the database, then make copies of the mdf file, then attach the databases as different copies, somehow the job failed due to file locked) I tried to delete the physical files, but they were still locked. I tried several times, two of them I was able to delete the mdf files, but not the ldf file. The other one both mdf file and ldf file can not be deleted. I was not able to see the database via Management studio.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
