Just received question from one of the DBA
Question: I do not have full backup of my database. My .mdf and .ldf are corrupted. Is there any way I can restore database now?
Answer: Sorry. I do not think there is any way you can do it. Try attaching this files to database using db_attach but if that does not work, it will be very difficult make it work.
If any of blog reader know fix for this, please post here.

Very difficult, but I have found the following can sometimes work:
alter database test
set emergency
go
alter database test
set single_user
go
dbcc checkdb (test, repair_allow_data_loss)
alter database test
set multi_user
go
Hope this helps

I do not have full backup of my database. Only My .mdf file corrupted. Is there any way I can recover my mdf file by using the .ldf file now?
Hi Jeeva,
Please let us know the complete error message and where you are facing the error? what resolution you have tried yet?
As the .mdf is the file where data is stored and we do not have much options to recover from corrupted .mdf file.
Regards,
