wht happend if transactional log file is deleted

  • one of transactional log file deleted can i take t back

  • Gone as in deleted from the operating system? how did that happen?

    Do you have a recent backup?

    How many log files did the database have?

    Was the database detached cleanly from SQL?

    Sorry, this is not related to the question in the forum.

    I see that you have the credentials MCITP.

    Would you mind if I ask you a few questions about the

    credentials

    By the way, sorry to have jumped in to ask a

    question that was not related.

    -------

    No to answer the question:

    1. Check the recycle bin to see whether the file is present.

    2. If not there are third party tools that can recover deleted

    data from the hard drive. I am not a good expert at this.

    Our networking folks use a OS by the name "KNOPPIX" adn they

    are able to go and recover a deleted file.

    1. Here are the steps:

    1. Stop the server. Do not allow any more writes.

    2. Hand over the server to a IT tech guy and ask him to

    recover the file.

    Good luck!

  • you can detach and reattach without a log file and it will make a new one. instructions are in BOL
