It is a collection of highly structured tables, wherein each row and column is designed to store a data entity and a specific information field. It allows users to create, store, update, and retrieve data in or from the SQL Server database to make work simple. Each SQL Server database mainly contains two different file types MDF(main database files) and LDF(transaction files).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether an MDF file is used to store all the information in a database, an LDF file(also known as a Transaction file) can store all the transactions and changes to the database. However, there are many reasons why the SQL Server database files get corrupted or damaged, and in that period, users need to restore the database files(MDF and LDF) backed up locally into the SQL Server database to access and manage data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But what if your LDF file means the transaction Log file does not work or is accessible for you, and you must restore the SQL database files in the SQL Server? Here, this blog is going to describe to you the manual solution of How to Restore SQL Database without Transaction Log file.
