Well, unless it was half way through doing something, I suppose it might.
Doesn't strike me as a very good plan except if-all-else-fails.
I don't suppose undeleting the log works ?

re: OT: SQL Server Emergency

Okay, I can't detach the database because it is being used in replication.  So, 
I tried to use the stored procedure sp_removedbreplication to stop the 
replication and I get an error because the database is in recovery/emergency 
mode.  Next 

Thanks.



Sorry for the priority off-topic, but I have a SQL server down and I am running 
out of ideas.

The log file for one of my databases was corrupted. I thought I rememberd in 
the past that by removing the log file SQL server would rebuild a new one and 
you would only loose whatever transactions were in the log file. Apparently 
not. I stopped SQL server, deleted the log file and restarted it. Now the 
database is marked as suspect. I have tried detaching the database, but the 
database is/was used in a replication and SQL server won't allow me to detach 
it.

How can I disable the replication in order to detach the database and then 
reattach it so that it will rebuild a new log file?

Thanks.
