Different methods to repair SQL Server

If there are several factors which damage the Microsoft SQL server then there are also many other ways to repair it. Each of the repair SQL method is having a different set of advantages & disadvantages. Let’s have a look at the repair methods for SQL 2005, SQL 2000, SQL 2008 and SQL 2008 R2 versions:

The FC (Failover Clustering)

The Failover Clustering or FC is a unique method of developing clusters for hardware or software failure. A user can generate clusters for single or multiple instances with FC. This method works on system or hard disk failure. The platforms which support the Failover Clustering are NT 4.0, 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Datacenter Server Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, Windows Server 2003 and Datacenter Edition.

The limitations of Failover Clustering

It is a very expensive repair method and it works only on the severs in straight line. This method fails to recover data lost because of disk array failure.

DM (Database Mirroring)

Database Mirroring is a good repair method for full recovery model databases. This process is not available in simple database models.

Limitations of Database Mirroring (DM)
It repairs those databases which have been connected with the principal database. The IT Managers don’t prefer Database Mirroring because of the security reasons during content exchange.

Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication
This is a good alternative for those applications which can read & edit the SQL database. The databases which are not depending upon the server hosting can use this method.

Limitations of Peer-to-peer transactional replication
Peer-to-Peer Transactional Replication does not restore the SQL 2005. The SQL database which needs to be recovered with this method should have a common schema.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)
The RAID repair SQL repair method saves the damaged data on multiple disks.

Limitations of the RAID method
Using the RAID method for restoring the lost database is very difficult. This method even does not work on multiple disk failures.
One flawless method to repair SQL database is Repair SQL Server Database tool. It restores the lost MS SQL Server 2000 2005, 2008, 2008 r2 from any kind of situation.
