How To Recover Database From LDF File
Oct 21, 2015I 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?

Jun 15, 2006Hello!
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,

SQL 2012 :: Recover Database Without Log File?
Jul 10, 2015Recently 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.

How To Recover Master Database Table Data
Aug 14, 2006Hi 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 @alter_table_statement varchar(256)
declare @delete_statement varchar(256)
-- definindo o cursor...

and

-- 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

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?

DB-Corruption: Backup, Restore And Recover
Oct 2, 2001Hi
I have a question concerning backup / restore / recover of a MS-SQL-Server-Database.
Following configuration exists:
MS-SQL-Server running on NT
OS, Server located on a mirrored Raid 0 Disk -> C:
Transactionlog-Files (.ldf) on the same physical mirrored Disk -> E:
Database-Files (.mdf) located on a separate pyhisical Disk (Disk-Set, Raid 5) -> D:
I take a full backup every night of all databases, no Transaction-Log backup is made during a day (never)
Assuming following situation:
During a day one Database became corrupt. The physical-file (.ldf) of corrupted database is still accessible
on Drive E:
1. Step: I make a copy of the .ldf-File and put it on a secure place or in an other directory
2. Step: I restore the DB from the last full backup
3. Step: ???? How is it now possible to recover from the physical available .ldf-File? I know it should be
possible but I don't now how.
Has anybody tips or suggestion or has someone ever had a similar situation? Feedback would be appreciated.
Kind regards

SQL Server 2008 :: Recover Data In A Table - Restoring A Database Alongside Existing DB
Apr 17, 2015I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.
I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?
If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?
The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.
Restore Database From Mdf File?
Mar 19, 2003If a SQL 2000 server instance is destroyed, but the database file (*.mdf) is saved on the disk, can a database within a newly created server instance be built on the saved file?
If I attempt to create a new database and choose the saved mdf file as the data file, then the server refuses to accept this file. Is there a way to create the new database and make it read the standalone mdf file?
Please help if at all possible. Thanks.

Restore Problem - Database Not In .bak File
Mar 25, 2002I have to do a database restore from tape from a couple of months ago. When I look at the SQL scheduled task history all databases were sucesfully backed up to a .DAT file. However, when I look at the .DAT file which I have just retrieved from tape - the database which I am looking for isn't listed under the backup information, so I can't choose it to carry out the restore.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
What do I do?
Thanks

I went to ---->restore database.

So I try to use another .bak file which I am sure it is 100% good. It prompt the restore is sucessfully.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRestore SQL Server Database From A File Backup
Mar 19, 2001Hello,
I have a user database which has 1 data file and 1 logfile.
I did a complete backup of the database to a file on the disk drive, using Enterprise manager. Due to some reason, I had to drop the database. The only way I could restore it was by,
1. Create the database with the same name.
2. Restore the complete backup from the file device.
While doing so,
I get the message "Backup set holds the backup of daatabase other than the existing 'userdbname' database. BAckup terminating."
Is it because the database was dropped and recreated.
If I choose the option to overwrite, it restores successfully.
Is this normal and right way to do it? Is there any thing else that I need to take care of, while backup or restore?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,

Restore MSSQL Database, Lost LDF-File
Oct 4, 2005Hi.
I've following problem:
- Customer played with his logical drives in a CPQ smart array
- He played too much: he lost the drive with the LDF-File
- Now the SQL-Server is in a kind of wired mode; you can
start and stop it, but you cannot connect to (neiter 'sa' nor
any other user available before)
In fact the mode is not wired: what shall he do other when
most important file is missing... :o
- The problem for me now is:
> How can I get the Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer
up and running again to start a restore?
PS: The restore is to be done from a tape-library running
Veritas Backup Exec + SQL-Agent
PPS: Error-log says (what I already know):
2005-10-04 17:18:02.69 spid11 Device activation error. The physical file name 'H:DEVLOG1DEVLOG1.ldf' may be incorrect.
Thanks in advance for assistance.
