When to Use SQL Recovery Tool?

Is SQL Database in SUSPECT Mode?

Is-SQL-Database-in-SUSPECT-Mode

When the primary filegroup of a database is suspected to be damaged by SQL server or transaction log file is missing or has turned corrupt, the database is marked as 'Suspect'. Also, events such as SQL server crash in the middle of a transaction, abrupt database termination, lack of disk space, etc., can bring the database in suspect mode. Consequently, database becomes inaccessible. The Stellar SQL recovery tool helps recover SQL database from suspect mode and restores SQL database to a normal state (online).
