将断开连接的sql数据库导入新的sql数据库

Question

I had a virus on my machine, and I had to have it rebuilt, I saved the SQL Server mdf file before have the computer rebuilt. not that it was rebuilt I tried to import the database using

CREATE DATABASE [Invoice] 
ON PRIMARY (FILENAME = N' WHATEVER PATH THE FILE IS ')
FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG 
GO

That didn't I did some research I tried to use

sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname=Invoices, @physname 'path of Database'

That however didn't work either.

So after researching the error I found out that because the database wasn't closed out and I found out that I cannot import that I want to try to import the data into a new database that I've created.

I do not have any tables in the new database but I would like to import all the tables and data from [dbo].[Invoices] in new database. How can I do this?

Answer 1

I have a suggestion which has worked for me in the past, but I cant guarantee it will work for you.

Create a new blank database. Take the new database offline or stop sql server. Replace the new database MDF file with the old database MDF file. Remove any log file from the newly created database. Try to start sql server. See if the database can be accessed.

Again, I can't guarantee this will work, but definitely worth a try if you are in a bind.
