Recovery of a Table From SQL SERVER 2000

Unfortunately a table is Deleted by me from my database.

Now How I can Recover that

I have no data and structure of that table Now.

It Was Very IMP. Table .

So Plz Help.......

the only option that comes to my mind is to restore the latest backup which was taken before the table was deleted.....it will definitely contain the datas you need........but b4 that take a backup of your db now so that if required you can restore from this backup......thanx
|||

You 'may be able to recover the data from the log files (assuming you have a FULL recovery model in place) by using one of the third party Log exploration tools.

I suggest exploring Lumigent's Log Explorer, or ApexSQL's Log tools. I think that fully functional evaluation copies are available online.

|||

Restore your last backup to another server or another database name. You can use DTS or scripting to move the table and data to the database where you dropped the table.

Thanks Sir

Its work

But i want to Know Some Free Data Recovery tools.

Could U Send Some Link Of That Types of tools Sites.

Thanks

With Regards

|||It's actually difficult to find one when you are looking for something "FREE." Third-party tools out thre have evaluation periods which you can try out

|||

The only "free" data recovery tool I can think of is SQL Server's native backup and restore.

-Sue

|||inaddition to what i said earlier if you have sql 2005 you can also make use of Database snapshot.It is a new feature available in sql 2005 enterprise edition...........if you had taken a snapshot before dropping some records you can retrieve those records by restoring from the snapshot....

Recovery deleted row

Dear all,
if i delete a row in a table accidently , how can i recover that rows
in case 1: just delete it a few second before
in case 2: delete it and add several rows after deleted rowsSQL Server doesn't provided a 'undelete' method. You will have to read the
transaction log using commands like DBCC LOG, or fn_dblog. But there isn't
much official documentation available about these commands. Another
alternative is to use a tool like Lumigent Log Explorer that can recover
data from the transaction log, as long as that transaction is in the
transaction log.

Accidents can ONLY be prevented with precautions.
You can write a trigger to avoid deletion using @.@.rowcount, if you dont have
regular deletions. You can use this to specific user also.
If you find that official regular deletions are inevitable(practically true)
use triggers to add to to history tables so that you can easily retrieve the
row you want.

Recovery

I need to recover some data I deleted right now, can I do
that?Take a backup of the current transaction log. If you have a full backup and
no other modifications have been made since your deletion, restore the full
along with the current tran log and use a STOPAT time prior to your
deletion.

Recovering the deleted Table

Hi,
I have deleted the table from sql server2000 database by mistake. Is there any way to recover it?It's very urgent.
Thanks in advance.Q1 I have deleted the table from sql server2000 database by mistake. Is there any way to recover it?It's very urgent.


A1 Yes.

1 Restore the most recent DB backup dump to a differently named DB. For example: TestDB

2 Use a script and an insert statement, or DTS, or a select into statement, etc., to 'copy' (recreate & populate) the table back to the production DB from the TestDB. Depending on the technique used you may need to reapply permissions, constraints, etc., etc..|||Hi,
My problem is I don't have the back up of it. Is there any other way say by using the log file or any other?
Thanx|||Q1 I don't have the back up of it. Is there any other way say by using the log file or any other?

A1 If ddl scripts for the table(s) exist somewhere, the dropped tables may be recreated by running them.

As far as using the log for recovery, the answer is generally no. However, (provided certain conditions are met), a product like log explorer may sometimes be of help in addressing such kinds of situations. {Such products and methods are not a substitute for backup dumps.} See: http://www.lumigent.com/products/le_sql/le_sql.htm|||Data saved to LDF (LOG) files depend on recovery schema used.
MDF stores current (commited) state of database.
In full recovery schema, LDF stores all ops after last backup.
Then LDF can be used to locate changes and MDF can contain
deleted data.

That was theory...

recovering deleted table

Hi all
Is there a way to reconstruct a table which was deleted without restoring
the whole data base?
Database recovery model is simple. Sqlserver version is 2000 sp3.
TIA
Rea
Unfortunately, there is not. You can, however, restore the database to a
different server (or, just a different database) and then copy just the
table you want back to the original server/database. That way, you won't
effect the active database with the restore.

Recovering deleted Items

I am sure this has been asked and most likely will be asked again in the
future (but not by me I hope) but when a record is deleted from a table is
it really deleted? Or is it just marked deleted and when the database is
compacted is when it is really flushed? If that is the case is there a way
to query for the deleted records and recover the information? And by the way
Transaction logging was not turned on.

Andrew C. Madsen

> Transaction logging was not turned on.
There is no way to turn off transaction logging. Perhaps you meant to say that the database is in
simple recovery mode?
When you DELETE, the row is not physically removed immediately, but the ghost record left on the
page will be removed as soon as SQL Server get time to do so. And there is no facility to get data
back from ghost records. You could try DBCC PAGE, but most probably the ghost record is already gone
when you try the command. So this isn't even worth investigating further for data recovery purposes.
So you are left with the transaction log and your backups. If you are lucky, the log records that
reflect your modifications are still in the transaction log (probably not as you probably are in
simple recovery mode). You can use a log reader to see if you are lucky. I've listed three of the
available tools on my web site.
Or go the restore route.
See http://www.karaszi.com/SQLServer/info_restore_log_several_times.asp for an elaboration.

Recovering deleted Items

I am sure this has been asked and most likely will be asked again in the
future (but not by me I hope) but when a record is deleted from a table is
it really deleted? Or is it just marked deleted and when the database is
compacted is when it is really flushed? If that is the case is there a way
to query for the deleted records and recover the information? And by the way
Transaction logging was not turned on.

There is no way to turn off transaction logging. Perhaps you meant to say that the database is in
simple recovery mode?
When you DELETE, the row is not physically removed immediately, but the ghost record left on the
page will be removed as soon as SQL Server get time to do so. And there is no facility to get data
back from ghost records. You could try DBCC PAGE, but most probably the ghost record is already gone
when you try the command. So this isn't even worth investigating further for data recovery purposes.
So you are left with the transaction log and your backups. If you are lucky, the log records that
reflect your modifications are still in the transaction log (probably not as you probably are in
simple recovery mode). You can use a log reader to see if you are lucky. I've listed three of the
available tools on my web site.
Or go the restore route.

Recovering deleted Items

I am sure this has been asked and most likely will be asked again in the
future (but not by me I hope) but when a record is deleted from a table is
it really deleted? Or is it just marked deleted and when the database is
compacted is when it is really flushed? If that is the case is there a way
to query for the deleted records and recover the information? And by the way
Transaction logging was not turned on.

There is no way to turn off transaction logging. Perhaps you meant to say th
at the database is in
simple recovery mode?
When you DELETE, the row is not physically removed immediately, but the ghos
t record left on the
page will be removed as soon as SQL Server get time to do so. And there is n
o facility to get data
back from ghost records. You could try DBCC PAGE, but most probably the ghos
t record is already gone
when you try the command. So this isn't even worth investigating further for
data recovery purposes.
So you are left with the transaction log and your backups. If you are lucky,
the log records that
reflect your modifications are still in the transaction log (probably not as
you probably are in
simple recovery mode). You can use a log reader to see if you are lucky. I'v
e listed three of the
available tools on my web site.
Or go the restore route.

Recovering DB from deleted files

Hi All,
Using sql 2000 on windows 200 server
I am trying to recover a SQL 2000 DB from crashed.
Now I only have the .LDF file of the DB
is there any way i can use to recover the db from the >LDF file
Thanx,
mateHi,
No, you cant recover a database with just the LDF file. If you have the MDF
file then you can try attaching the database using
SP_ATTACH_DB procedure.
In this scenario, the only way to recover the database is to RESTORE the
database from last successful full datbase backup
and apply the subsequent transaction logs.
Thanks
Hari

have the mdf file as well? Or a backup?
The ldf file only contains the modifications performed in the database, and
if you never did a database backup, the file is emptied automatically
regularly. There exists log readers (see the link page on my web site), but
there's a high risk that the information is no longer there.
