当truncate table发生时，如何进行恢复，相信大部分人都会选择通过还原备份到truncate table前，然后将数据重新导入正式表中。

那么在SQL Server中是不是真的只有这种方法呢，当然不是，这也是本文即将介绍的内容，前提条件是SQL Server完整恢复模式(大容量日志模式未做测试，暂不介绍)。

首先，了解一下truncate table的一些相关知识

官档：

TRUNCATE TABLE 通过释放用于存储表数据的数据页删除数据，且仅在事务日志中记录页释放。

这句话包含的信息量是很大的，通过实验进行验证，解释如下：

truncate table时，数据库日志中不会记录确切的已删除值，只记录截断记录的页的ID，并且这些记录所占用的空间会被标识为可重写，

mdf中会暂时保留这些页内的数据，当有新事务写入这些页时，truncate table的数据将会被覆盖(数据页被format，然后重新使用)。

测试：

创建一张表，并插入数据

create table test_truncate(id int,name varchar(20),address varchar(20))
go
insert into test_truncate select 1,'zhangsan','first road'
go
insert into test_truncate select 2,'wangxiao','second road'
go
  
DBCC TRACEON(3604):必须开启此标识才能使用

利用dbcc ind找到该表的数据页，如下PageType=1为数据页，即为：288

使用dbcc page查看数据页内容

执行truncate table后

可以看到数据页中仍保留着truncate table的相关记录。

那么，truncate table的第二种恢复方法就显而易见了，在这些数据被覆盖之前，从页面中将数据提取出来，并恢复到表中。
