Microsoft SQL Server is the most powerful and advanced RDBMS (Relational Database Management System), which offers excellent database solutions for all sizes of organizations. It provides several distinct and extraordinary features for effective management of your business-critical data. All of your valuable data is stored in MDF (Master Database File) in the form of tables. Although, SQL Server is considered as most reliable database management system, but in some situations the MDF file may become inaccessible and you come across serious data loss situations. In such critical situations, you need to opt for
SQL Recovery solutions to get your lost data back.
In a practical scenario of MDF corruption and data loss, when you attempt to open MS SQL Server database by double clicking the file, you encounter below given error message and the file could not be opened:
“Msg 945, Level 14, State 2, Line 1
Database 'database name' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server error log for details”
This error message renders whole database inaccessible and you can not use your business critical data from it. At this point, to gain access of your valuable data, you are required to find out the cause of this behavior and perform SQL Repair by resolving it.
Cause
This problem generally occurs due to corruption to MS SQL Server database. The MDF file is corrupted and SQL Server can not read its contents. Data corruption might occur due to virus infection, improper system shutdown, inappropriate database references, application faults, missing system files and faulty memory.
No matter what the cause of this problem is, the most significant thing that you should consider is your critical data. Data loss can not be accepted at any cost and thus it is merely essential for you to repair and restore damaged database.
Resolution
To sort out this problem, check SQL Server error log. Make sure that location of MDF and NDF files and confirm that you have sufficient permissions to access database. Also check free disk space on drive, which contains database.
When all else fails to fix this issue, SQL Recovery is the only option to retrieve data. This is best possible using third party applications. These software perform extensive scan of affected database to retrieve all of its objects and stored data. The
SQL Repair software are quite easy and safe to use.
