    That's correct. That's why the option is REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS

    Very hard to figure out what's gone. If there's a clustered index you can figure out the range of rows that would be...

  • RE: Restoring database using .mdf and .ldf files

    Unless you have a copy of the database from the date in question, you will not be able to recovery. A restore overwrites the database completely.

    Moreover, example below doesn't show any difference in explain plan meaning, no differences for select against constrained and non-contrained version of the table.

    Two points.

    That query is simple enough to...

    A few questions first:

    What recovery model?

    What's the interval on log backups (if answer to recovery model != Simple)

    Why two log files?

    Why do you want to reduce the size of the...

    Constraints can actually be used by the optimizer to speed up a query.

    Hope you are referring to Referential Integrity constraints.

    Check and not null constraints can too.
