The possible factors for a corrupted SQL database and its symptoms are:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Abrupt power cuts, sudden shutdowns, and bugs in the software can be the reasons.<\/li>\r\n<li>Often, viruses and threats corrupt the files located within the SQL database.<\/li>\r\n<li>Physical damage to the disk or bad sectors on the hard drive can cause hardware issues.<\/li>\r\n<li>Network failures during the running operations due to connection or login errors also cause damage.<\/li>\r\n<li>Sometimes, the inappropriate isolation level of the SQL Server also affects the database.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>These issues affect the database, resulting in I\/O subsystem failures, accidental data deletion, and SQL memory issues. Furthermore, the transaction log is impacted, and page-level corruption can occur, too. So, it is necessary to fix the corrupted SQL database to avoid severe losses.<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Recover_SQL_Database_from_Corruption\"><\/span>How to Recover SQL Database from Corruption?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>The main task for DB administrators is to keep the database in a healthy state. Yet, many scenarios lead to its corruption. Regardless, you wish to restore databases with minimal possible downtime and losses. Here, we&rsquo;ve outlined two reliable ways to repair corrupt SQL files manually and professionally. We&rsquo;ve also highlighted the common challenges encountered by the users during the SQL recovery.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repair_Database_in_SQL_Server_Manually\"><\/span>Repair Database in SQL Server Manually<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>There are two major ways for you to restore databases from the SQL Server after it faces corruption. The first way is through a backup or SQL logs, and another one includes using the DBCC CHECKDB command. Both processes are discussed in detail as follows:<\/p>\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Repair SQL Server Database from Backup Logs<\/h4>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Open SSMS and run the command <strong>EXEC sp_readerrorlog <\/strong>to check the errors.<\/li>\r\n<li>If an issue or error is diagnosed, then restore it from the last backup by the command:\r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>RESTORE DATABASE TestDB_Name FROM DISK = &#8216;C:\\Backup\\Test_DB.bak&#8217; WITH REPLACE<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>If the error is resolved and the repair SQL file is successful, then no worries. Otherwise, go for the next solution.<\/p>\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Using DBCC CHECKDB to Recover SQL Database<\/h4>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Run the <strong>SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)<\/strong> from the Start menu.<\/li>\r\n<li>Next, set the database to Emergency mode to provide read-only permissions by the command: \r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>ALTER DATABASE (DB NAME) SET EMERGENCY<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<li>Further, run the <strong>DBCC CHECKDB (DB NAME)<\/strong> <strong>WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS <\/strong>query to identify the inconsistencies and errors.<\/li>\r\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>It will also recommend a repair level. There are three different repair levels available with the DBCC CHECKDB command that help make the database functional.<\/p>\r\n<li>But, to bring the data back, first, switch it to single-user mode from emergency mode. To do so, run the command given here:\r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>ALTER DATABASE (DB NAME) SET SINGLE_USER WITH [ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE]<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<li>Afterward, run the given command to repair minor database corruption issues with no loss:\r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>DBCC CHECKDB (DB NAME, REPAIR_FAST) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS; GO<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<li>If it doesn&rsquo;t work, then run the command with less data loss risk:\r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>DBCC CHECKDB (DB NAME, REPAIR_REBUILD) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS;<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>The next command can be run even in the Emergency mode. It will recover the SQL database and resolve the corruption, but there may be some losses.<\/p>\r\n<li>Furthermore, for deep corruption, you can run the following command:\r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>DBCC CHECKDB (DB NAME, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS; GO<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<li>In the end, set the SQL database back to multi-user mode with the command:\r\n<div class=\"copy-section\">\r\n        <div class=\"copy-container\" id=\"textDiv2\">\r\n           <em><strong>ALTER DATABASE (DB NAME) SET MULTI_USER<\/strong><\/em>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <button class=\"copy-button\" onclick=\"copyText('textDiv2')\">Copy Code<\/button>\r\n    <\/div><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Following the above procedures, you can repair a corrupt SQL database, but there are some cons to it.<\/p>\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shortcomings of the Manual Method<\/h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Not suitable for severely corrupted SQL databases and cannot repair deleted objects.<\/li>\r\n<li>Users must have technical knowledge and proficiency to execute the commands.<\/li>\r\n<li>Sometimes, can result in the deallocation of rows and pages that are unrecoverable.<\/li>\r\n<li>No guarantee of accurate recovery. Also, leaves the database in an inconsistent state.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Thus, it is necessary to choose a good alternate, like a professional tool, in case the DBCC CHECKDB fails.<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Recover_SQL_Database_with_a_Repair_Tool\"><\/span>How to Recover SQL Database with a Repair Tool?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>There are many situations when DBCC CHECKDB doesn&rsquo;t prove to be a reliable solution.
