Accidentally Deleted MS SQL Data? Here's How to Recover It
Accidentally deleted data from your MS SQL Server database? Don't panic. There are professional tools and methods to help you recover your lost data, even without a backup.
The fn_dblog() function in SQL can aid in viewing transaction log files and potentially recover deleted records. However, it's undocumented and requires manual data reconstruction. For a quicker, more secure recovery, consider professional SQL Server database repair tools like Stellar Repair for MS SQL. These tools specialize in repairing corruption and restoring lost data efficiently, minimizing data loss risks. They can even recover data directly from the SQL database file without needing a backup file.
If you don't have a backup or it's unreadable, you can still recover data using the transaction log files (.ldf) if error logging is enabled. However, using fn_dblog() has limitations. It displays deleted records in hex values, doesn't directly recover data, and doesn't guarantee complete or accurate recovery. In such cases, using Log Sequence Number (LSN) to restore deleted data from a transaction backup file can be beneficial.
In summary, if you've deleted data from your MS SQL Server database, professional repair tools like Stellar Repair for MS SQL can quickly and securely recover your data. If a backup isn't available, transaction log files can be used for recovery, but methods like fn_dblog() have limitations. Always ensure you have a reliable backup system in place to prevent data loss in the future.
