| With that error, the file is likely damaged beyond recovery. Get out your last working database backup (proper database backup) and restore it.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

| With that error, that file is not going to attach. There's no magical commands, it's too badly damaged (gut feel is that the file header is damaged). Restore from backup is about the only option here unless you want to try one of the data recovery tools that promise miracles (be careful, they don't always do as they advertise and they're not usually cheap)--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

| assuming that the file header is trashed could you:1) Restore a backup (of the same database but older).2) Stop sql server service.3) Interrogate new MDF file's header4) Write yourself a new header for the broken MDF file using (3)'s information?I'm not suggesting this course of action by the way. I know nothing of sql server mdf headers...... I'm just curious to learn more.Charlie===============================================================Msg 3903, Level 16, State 1, Line 1736The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION |

| Good luck with that... You'd need a hex editor, an incredible knowledge of the page structures in SQL and probably a few weeks to get it right (there's the LSN to get right, the checksum to figure out, etc, etc). I know maybe 10 people who are capable of that kind of repair (I'm not one of them)That's also assuming that it's only the first 8kb of the file that's damaged and not more.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

| Thanks for that. I was wondering however if you could get the file into a state that was attachable and then run tools to validate the db.... I didn't know how dumb or smart the header was and how much you'd need to get 100% right or not before sql server would attach.Sounds like the aim of the game here is to try and get some data out of the db that is recent. Full recovery to a working system is a completely other bag of aquatic animals.Charlie===============================================================Msg 3903, Level 16, State 1, Line 1736The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION |

| Again, there are probably 10 or so people in the world capable of doing what you suggest - manually fixing the header to the point the DB will attach and be repairable or queryable (assuming the first set of allocation pages and critical system tables are intact, and they are right at the beginning of the file)Probably the only practical option here is to evaluate the data recovery tools that promise the world and hope that one lives up to its promise.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

| To avoid such a situation database expert recommend to attach a single file, but when user apply sp_attach_single_db Stored Procedures database display the given below error message gets displayed: “Server: Msg 5172, Level 16, State 15, Line 1 The header for file path……\.mdf is not a valid database file header. The PageAudit property is incorrect.”This error messages is occurred due to occurrence of file header of master database that gets damaged or corrupted. The error message is also occurred due to invalid value that gets inserted in the master database header file. Above all this error messages makes the database completely inaccessible and lead to corruption. This can easily be restored using unspammed. It is highly effective and efficient tool that can easily fix all types of MDF error. |

| hi Ali asgharMS SQL Server provide 2 way to attach SQL database files to the Server. You can locate your file trough SQl Server Management Studio or through T-SQL scripts. My point of view attaching MDF file using SQL Server management studio is the simple and easy way. You have to just open SQL server Management studio and select the database option of the object explorer. Right click on it and then select the attach database option. Then suddenly a window opens and you need to click on add button and now you are able to see the list of database files select it which you want to attach and goes to Ok button. As on confirming and after and just clicking on Ok button the process complited checkout in the Databases elements list. |
