Based on the OP's first post on this here they dont have backup's, that is if its the same database in question.

repair softwork doesn't seem to work when it comes to SQL Server, because the file is always open;

it's kind of like opening a word file;

you may edit for hours, but unless you saved it, if you erase stuff in the middle of the document, there's no where those changes are saved, and are not recoverable at all. neato software or not.

3) Import all data from Dev table.
