After repairing the SQL database using Stellar Repair for MS SQL, you can save the repaired database in a new database, live database, CSV, XLS, and HTML. However, saving a repaired database into a new database is always recommended. Here are some reasons:
Data integrity:
New database ensures that the original database remains intact. The data in SQL database remains consistent and accurate. Also, there is no data loss risk.
No compatibility issue:
Saving a database in a new database does not create compatibility issues. It supports data validation options, including built-in constraints and rules to ensure accuracy. Even if your database contains complex datatypes, it preserves the complete database structure. It prevents you from encountering issues while saving repaired data into CSV files.
No File-size Limitations:
You can easily save repaired data of any size in a new database without any issues. It has no file size limitations. Databases can effectively save and handle large volumes of data. It preserves the complete database structure even if you have a large-sized database. You will not face issues while opening database after saving repaired database.
What If you save repaired data in CSV and other formats?
If your SQL database file size is small, you can save repaired data in CSV and other formats without any issue. However, if you directly save the large SQL database's repaired data into the CSV (Comma-separated values) file, it may not preserve the complete database structure.
As a result, you can encounter different issues like you may fail issues while opening the CSV file, or you may find some missing fields in the file.
These issues usually occur if your database contains complex datatypes that may not be compatible with CSV files. Also, the CSV files have some file size restrictions. If your database file exceeds these file limitations and when you try to save it on a single CSV file, it can result in data loss.
