How to recreate doc table from purge gone bad 😲

asked on May 27

Hello, I am needing some guidance on what to do.

At my company they wanted to do a purge to free up some space. 

The person who was in charge of it at the time accidently deleted a majority of the records in the doc table.

Is there any way to recreate the entries in the doc? manually or by scripting?

 

Any help or brainstorming would be very much appreciated.

We are using LF 10.2 on sql server if that matters.

The obvious suggestion would be to restore the database from backup. What is your backup situation like?

The doc table can't be reliably reconstructed from other data. You could possibly write a program to reconstitute documents from pages based on timestamps. In order to succeed, it would need to depend on: pages for different documents not being created at the same time; identifiable gaps separating different documents; all of a document's pages being created at the same time; and you not moving pages once they have been created.
