how to recover delete table

  • Can any one suggest me how recover deleted table in a database..uncertainly i have wrongly use the drop command..

    Plz give ur oppinion..

  • Think about some recent backup.

  • 1) Take T-Log backup of Transaction log of the database in question.

    2) Restore the most recent full backup to another database name on server.

    3) Restore any Diff/T-Log backups you have.

    4) Restore your T-Log backup you took in #1 with STOPAT with time frame right before you did delete.

    5) Copy the table over from the new database back to original database.

    Thanks.

    Is this a Production or Test environment? Restore it as advised to the desired point of time.

  • Hi Ranjit,

    The restoration of your deleted table depends upon the multiple points. Hope your database is in Full Recovery mode. If it is in simple recovery mode, the chances of table recovery is limited.

    Hope you have periodic backup schedule in place. It needs last full backup, latest diffrential backup (if any) and then all Transaction Log backups.

    If everything from backup is in place, you can do a point on time recovery to get your table back.

  • good backup

    good resume

    you only need one
