Quick question, is it at all possible to combine a "newer version" of the LDF file with and older version of MDF file and keeping changes logged in the LDF?
Instincts and 1 hour trying says no it is not possible.
Long version:
1. Database in full recovery mode
2. Take a full backup
3. Make some changes
4. Detach database
5. Make a filecopy of the LDF-file
6. Restore from full backup
7. Detach database
8. Make a filecopy of the MDF-file
9. Throw away the backup
10. Delete the database
11. Somehow make the MDF and LDF play together with the change made in step 3 still in place.
