Recover Deleted data on Sql Server


Hi Today I will tell you how to recover the data in case data is deleted 
Please follow step by step & execute next step when first step will be finished.

Step 1 : Create a new fresh database and a table inside this database

USE master
GO

CREATE DATABASE TestDb
GO

USE TestDb
GO

CREATE TABLE TestTable (
 id INT identity(1, 1)
 ,NAME VARCHAR(50)
 ,Value INT
 ,ValueAt DATETIME DEFAULT(GetDate())
 )
GO

Step 2 : Create a Full Backup of this database

BACKUP DATABASE TestDb TO DISK = 'D:\TestDb_Full.bak'
WITH init
 ,format
 ,stats = 10
GO

Step 3 : Follow below DML On table dbo.TestTable

USE TestDb
GO

INSERT INTO TestTable ( NAME,Value)
SELECT 'Vimal' ,50
UNION
SELECT 'Kamal' ,250
UNION
SELECT 'Raj' ,1200
UNION
SELECT 'Swastika',150
UNION
SELECT 'Sibin' ,125
UNION
SELECT 'Manas' ,560
UNION
SELECT 'Amit' ,3200
GO

SELECT * FROM TestTable
GO

DELETE FROM TestTable WHERE id > 5
GO

SELECT * FROM TestTable
GO
 Step 4 : As data has been deleted. Now its time to recover that data.
Note : Here database is new & so as table. It is easy to recover. If you know the time of deleted data or approximate time you can recover data. But you will find it difficult if time range is too long or you forgot the time.
SELECT [Current LSN] ,[Transaction ID] ,[Operation] ,[Context] ,[AllocUnitName] FROM fn_dblog(NULL, NULL) WHERE [Operation] = 'LOP_DELETE_ROWS' AND [AllocUnitName] = 'dbo.TestTable' SELECT [Current LSN] ,[Operation] ,[Transaction ID] ,[Begin Time] ,[Transaction Name] ,[Transaction SID] ,[AllocUnitName] FROM fn_dblog(NULL, NULL) WHERE [Transaction ID] = '0000:00000343'--<<Paste the TransactionID AND [Operation] = 'LOP_BEGIN_XACT'
--Copy CurrentLSN 00000021:000000b0:0001
SELECT CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARBINARY, '0x00000021', 1)) --Same Value
SELECT CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARBINARY, '0x000000b0', 1)) --Total 10 digit preceeded by 0
SELECT CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARBINARY, '0x0001', 1)) --Total 5 digit preceeded by 0

-->33000000017600001
SELECT Cast(CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARBINARY, '0x00000021', 1)) AS VARCHAR(5)) + RIGHT('0000000000' + CAST(CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARBINARY, '0x000000b0', 1)) AS NVARCHAR), 10) + RIGHT('00000' + CAST(CONVERT(INT, CONVERT(VARBINARY, '0x0001', 1)) AS NVARCHAR), 5) AS 'MarkPoint'
GO

Step 5 : Take a log backup now. For this recovery model of database should be Full or Bulk-logged(Right click on Database>>Properties>>Options>>Recovery Model)

BACKUP log TestDb TO DISK = 'D:\TestDb_log.trn'
GO

Step 6 : Restore Full backup of database

-- Starting first with restoring the FULL BACKUP with NORECOVERY RESTORE filelistonly FROM DISK = 'D:\TestDb_Full.bak'; RESTORE DATABASE [TestDb_New] FROM DISK = 'D:\TestDb_Full.bak' WITH MOVE 'TestDb' TO 'C:\TestDb.mdf' ,MOVE 'TestDb_log' TO 'C:\TestDb_log.ldf' ,REPLACE ,NORECOVERY; GO

Step 7 : Restore log backup of database like below

RESTORE LOG TestDb_New FROM DISK = 'D:\TestDb_log.trn' WITH STOPBEFOREMARK = 'lsn:33000000017600001' GO

Step 8 : Check the table data

USE TestDb_New
GO
SELECT * FROM dbo.TestTable
--Export the deleted rows from this table to original table

Step 9 : Drop tables

USE master
GO
DROP DATABASE TestDb
DROP DATABASE TestDb_New
-->The End<--

Note : Step 4 time range
SELECT [Current LSN]
 ,[Operation]
 ,[Transaction ID]
 ,[Begin Time]
 ,[Transaction Name]
 ,[Transaction SID]
 ,[AllocUnitName]
FROM fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
WHERE --[Operation] = 'LOP_BEGIN_XACT'
 --and 
 [Begin Time] BETWEEN '2015/07/17 15:30:00:000'
  AND '2015/07/17 16:00:00:000'
