Question

SQL 2005 copy tables corupted database

Asked by: Marcel_M

Hi I have the folowing isseu.
I have a corupted data base, I didn't succeed to repair it with the
following with the command dbcc checkdb (database name, repair_allow
_data_loss) because de data base is not properly closed.

the problem is that the log file is corupted and the database is not
properly closed

but in the (Emergency state) I'm able to export the data to an empty
database. but it doesn't copy the settings like defaulth valeu's primary key
etc.
it's a database with 450 tables with a lot of this settings.

I created an empty data base with all the tables and settings without the
data, so my idea was to import only the content of the tables.
is there an easy way to do this.

or do you have an other solution.

pleas advice

Thanks

Marcel

You can do it via Import/Export or an SSIS package
if your source and destination tables are the same, just move data, this is simple way



 

by: reza_radPosted on 2009-11-08 at 14:20:34ID: 25772237

in Management Studio
right click on database
Tasks
Import/Export

 

by: Marcel_MPosted on 2009-11-08 at 14:31:49ID: 25772295

import/export / SISS doesn't doesn't copy the settings like defaulth valeu's primary key
etc.
so this is not a solution

 

by: reza_radPosted on 2009-11-08 at 14:42:24ID: 25772352

there is no problem in SSIS with primary keys
If you mean you have problem with IDENTITY values you can Enable IDENTITY Insert in your import/export

>> the problem is that the log file is corupted and the database is not properly closed

Kindly let me know how did you confirmed this one..
If this is the case, then this should work

1. Detach your Database.
2. Delete your LDF file in the database directory.
3. Attach your database again without specifying LDF file ( This would create a new one)

Yes I mean this wizard too

But I can't understand what is the difference between to tables you put here !
explain more

 

by: reza_radPosted on 2009-11-09 at 00:21:32ID: 25774136

OK I got this.
What about this solution:
generate a sql script from management studio :
right click on database ->Tasks->generate sql script
set options for generate script for all tables structures with keys and indexes and ...
then run this script on destination database, this will create correct tables structures there
then run import/export to transfer data

EXEC sp_msforeachtable "ALTER TABLE ? ENABLE TRIGGER  all"
