Hi,

We have accidentally deleted a database from SQL server. Then we have used NTFS file recovery tools such as R-Studio and scanned the entire drive. As a result of the scanning process we found a set of MDF files. Then we tried to attach the MDF files using SQL Management Studio. While doing so we got an error stating "MDF File is corrupted". Then we purchased a "Kernel for SQL Database" tool and opened the MDF file using that. We were able to recover only partial data. Is there any way that we can recover the full data from the MDF files.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If the MDF file is corrupted, there would not be any guarantee to get your data intact completely. If you have not taken a backup of data, then you are in trouble. Otherwise, you can restore the old backup and compare the data that you could retrive from the third party tool and sync, having said, no guarantee on your data purity.

Hey Sairams,

I am agree with Latheesh, because a data recovery tool has some limits and the recovery of data depends upon the corruption (partial or greater).

In past same issue happened with my friend then the issue was resolved by Kernel Recovery Lab.

I recommend you to contact Kernel Support Team for the instant and safe recovery of your SQL Database.

The answer has been given for the problem, here is some hints.

Open your browser, go to your favorite search engine and starting searching on different phrases like:

How to repair corrupt mdf file
MDF repair software download
Data recovery from corrupt mdf file

You will have enough information to go for and have option for choosing the best SQL database recovery software.   

And the amount of data recovered by software is directly proportion to the level of corruption, so sometimes you have 100% data back and sometimes not!!! 

Here are some popular software in this category are:

If you lose your SQL Database file and cant be able to repair and recover them then try our SQL Database Recovery software which is designed to fix severely corrupted database files (MDF) of SQL Server.  This software efficiently recovers all the possible data from inaccessible MDF files which are created using MS SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008.

It also scans damaged MDF file within a click and displays all the recovered tables including objects such as views, triggers, etc. The software quickly recovers all data types and objects from corrupt SQL database files.
