No need to worry if your SQL database gets corrupted? Hardware & Network Failure, Internal bugs, Accidental data deletion and common software problems such as (File header corruption, Malware, Virus) are the most common reasons for SQL server database corruption.
👉 We will help you to fix it and get the lost data back using SQL Database Recovery tools.
SQL stands for Structured Query Language used to communicate with a database. To update, delete, search and insert records we run SQL queries. Although there are many types of databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server ) but most of the companies used SQL.
Microsoft SQL Server used 3 types of files to store and manage data.
1.)Primary SQL Server Database files (.MDF extension)
2.) Secondary Files (.NDF Extension)
3.) Log Files (Backup files)
When your .MDF & .NDF file gets corrupted due to any reason then it could be a monotonous task for anyone to repair especially when you are applying manual techniques for SQL recovery and you are from nontechnical background.
It is possible to recover all SQL database components manually but you need to spend a lot of time and method is too much complex hence you can’t expect 100% recovery of your database.
To solve the problem we found many SQL recovery tools available in the market but based on our research and after testing, we shortlisted only top 5 tools.
