Database Recovery Presentation Final

Database recovery is the process of restoring a database to a correct state after failures to prevent data loss, which can occur due to crashes, media failures, or human errors. It utilizes transaction logs for rollback and roll forward methods, with checkpoints speeding up recovery by saving completed transactions. SQL commands for backing up, restoring, and rolling forward transactions are provided as practical examples.

Database Recovery Points

Simple Explanation with Examples


What is Database Recovery?
• Restoring a database to a correct state after a
failure to prevent data loss.
Why is Database Recovery
Needed?
• - System Crashes (Power Outage)
• - Media Failures (Hard Disk Crash)
• - Human Errors (Accidental Deletion)
Example: Lost Document
• Imagine writing an important document and
your computer crashes before saving.
• Database recovery is like recovering your last
saved version.
How Database Recovery Works?
• - Uses a Transaction Log to track changes
• - Rollback: Undo incomplete transactions
• - Roll Forward: Reapply completed
transactions
Two Recovery Methods
• 1. Manual Reprocessing (Slow, Error-prone)
• 2. Automated Recovery (Uses Logs, Faster)
What is a Checkpoint?
• A checkpoint saves all completed transactions
to disk.
• Recovery starts from the last checkpoint
instead of starting from scratch.
Key Takeaways
• ✔ Database recovery prevents data loss
• ✔ Rollback & Roll Forward fix transactions
• ✔ Checkpoints speed up recovery
SQL Code: Backup Database
• BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase
• TO DISK = 'C:\Backup.bak'
• WITH FORMAT;
SQL Code: Restore Database
• RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase
• FROM DISK = 'C:\Backup.bak'
• WITH NORECOVERY;
SQL Code: Roll Forward
• RESTORE LOG MyDatabase
• FROM DISK = 'C:\Backup.trn'
• WITH RECOVERY;
SQL Code: Backup Database
• -- This command creates a full backup of the
database
• BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase
• TO DISK = 'C:\Backup.bak'
• WITH FORMAT;

• 🔹 Example: Imagine saving your work before


making changes. If something goes wrong, you
can restore it back!
SQL Code: Restore Database
(Rollback)
• -- This restores the database but keeps it in a
'restoring' state
• RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase
• FROM DISK = 'C:\Backup.bak'
• WITH NORECOVERY;

• 🔹 Example: Think of pausing a movie before


watching the end. You can still add more
transactions before finishing the restore.
SQL Code: Roll Forward (Redo
Transactions)
• -- This applies all committed transactions and
makes the database usable
• RESTORE LOG MyDatabase
• FROM DISK = 'C:\Backup.trn'
• WITH RECOVERY;

• 🔹 Example: Imagine rewriting lost pages of a


book using notes you saved. This command
brings back the missing transactions.
