Purpose: Recreate the TraCS Custom database when it is destroyed beyond repair and no backups exist.

Requirements: TraCS Installation files, access to field unit with TraCS mobile installed.

In SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
1. Paste the query below to create the tracs_custom database.

USE master
GO
CREATE DATABASE tracs_custom
GO
use tracs_custom
GO
DECLARE @sql1 VARCHAR(1000)
SELECT @sql1='ALTER DATABASE '+quotename(db_name())+' SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
			 ALTER DATABASE '+quotename(db_name())+' SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
			 ALTER DATABASE '+quotename(db_name())+' SET read_committed_snapshot ON
			 ALTER DATABASE '+quotename(db_name())+' SET MULTI_USER'
exec(@sql1)
