• I also found this in my archive :

    -- DBCC rebuild_log (dbname [, filename])

    -- -- -- -- Create new database with same name, stop SQL Server, replace the MDF file from original database file

    -- -- -- -- and restart SQL Server to see whether your database is back in suspect mode.

    -- -- -- -- If it does, reset the database to emergency mode and run DBCC Rebuild_Log to recreate the log file.

    -- -- -- -- Once database is back to normal, run DBCC checkdb to ensure there is no integrity error,

    -- -- -- --  otherwise, you have to BCP the data out.
