The final one is a professional method,i.e., SQL Database Recovery– It allows users to restore the MDF file to SQL Server without attaching any LDF files.
MS SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) managed by Microsoft. It is designed to store the database of transaction processes, business intelligence, application data and others. It supports ANSI, the standard SQL (Structured Query Language) language, and it uses three types of files to store multiple database data. Let’s first know about them in detail.
Here is all about the SQL Server and its files. But sometimes, users face difficulties in managing these files, and it may also be possible that the file is getting corrupted or damaged. In that case, you won’t be able to attach files to the SQL server; either issue occurs in MDF, NDF or LDF files. Recently, a user has a query that they can’t attach MDF File in the SQL Server database because their LDF File is corrupt or some data is missing, but they have a requirement to add an MDF file. Thus, let’s examine the process of attaching MDF without an LDF File.
This section contains the manual methods to restore MDF (master database) in SQL Server without LDF. The procedure to perform the solutions is easy and simple.
You can easily restore MDF files in SQL Server without an LDF file, by following the given steps correctly:
SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is an inbuilt environment for managing any SQL Server infrastructure and database. It also includes the option to attach an MDF file to the SQL server by removing the corrupt/damaged or missing data log files. Follow the below steps to perform the procedure carefully.
Limitations of Manual Methods
Aryson SQL Database Recovery Tool is an efficient utility to attach corrupt or healthy SQL database files(MDF) to an SQL server without adding a Log database file(LDF). The software is also competent enough to recover all the database data from corrupt or damaged SQL database files. You can add any of the files MDF/NDF/LDF and perform a smooth recovery process.
In this post, we discussed how to attach MDF File without LDF File in SQL Server Database. Here, we also learn about the SQL Server and its MDF, NDF and LDF file. Furthermore, we understand the working of two manual methods that help users to attach MDF files without LDF files. However, if the manual solution does not work for you, we suggest a third-party tool to use and attach .mdf to the SQL Server successfully.
