Migrate Data When Database Won’t Start

If the database cannot be started and data cannot be migrated directly, you can try the following steps to recover the database and migrate the data:

1. Check the log files of the database for any error messages and try to resolve them.
2. Attempt to restore the database using the backup files, and then try to start the database.
3. If backups cannot restore the database, you can try using a database repair tool (such as MySQL’s InnoDB recovery tool) to fix the database.
4. Once the database has been successfully restored and started, you can use a database export tool to export the data to a new database.
5. Finally, verify that the data is complete and accurate in the new database to ensure a successful migration.

If the methods mentioned above do not solve the issue, it is recommended to contact a database administrator or professional database recovery service provider for further assistance.
