One of our SQL databases became inaccessible after an unexpected server shutdown. I was looking for a way to Repair Corrupted Database in SQL Server without risking further damage to the MDF file.

After testing a few options, I tried DRS Softech MS SQL Recovery. What I liked was that it scanned the MDF file without modifying the original database. The preview feature was helpful because I could verify tables, views, triggers, and even some deleted records before saving anything.

The database was restored with all relationships and indexes intact, which saved me a lot of manual work. Has anyone else used a similar approach for severe corruption cases?
