Do you have a backup?

Was the database shut down cleanly before the log file was deleted?

-the server pc was shut properly and noticed the database with suspect mode after restated.
-my log file was nearly 5 GB and therefore it was not sent to recycle bin after deleted. (panic).
-Now only have .mdf file

-i have backup of one month data old.

pls help to get the data from my .mdf file.

How about sp_attach_single_file_db?

And, of course, get yourself a useful backup strategy as you've just proven that yours is useless.
