Database Is Still Marked As Restoring After Full Restore
Dec 2, 2000
After I restore a database with SQL the database I cannot access it. However, after restoring using Enterprise Manager I do not have the same problem. The message I get is:
Database 'les_test' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.
The code I am trying to use for the restore is:
RESTORE DATABASE les_test
FROM DISK = 'c:MSSQL7BACKUPiztrobeta_db_200012011201.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
REPLACE,
MOVE 'biztrobeta_PRI' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_PRI.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGE_Dat1' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGE_Dat1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGX_Idx1 ' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGX_Idx1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_LOG' TO 'c:mssql7Dataiztrobeta_LOG.ldf'
GO
I tried changing the status in the master..sysdatabases tables, but the restored database was still not accessible. I tried to do this using the following statment:
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET STATUS = 4194316
WHERE name = 'les_test'
GO
We've got a Sharepoint 3.0 SQL database that was partially corrupted during an ill executed BackupExec restore. Now the database will not start up.
Error log reports:
2008-05-07 13:01:50.85 spid8s Starting up database 'model'. 2008-05-07 13:01:50.89 spid8s The database 'model' is marked RESTORING and is in a state that does not allow recovery to be run. 2008-05-07 13:01:50.89 spid5s The database 'msdb' is marked RESTORING and is in a state that does not allow recovery to be run. 2008-05-07 13:01:50.89 spid8s Error: 927, Severity: 14, State: 2. 2008-05-07 13:01:50.89 spid8s Database 'model' cannot be opened.

Trace ID = '1'. This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to get the database back up and running with minimal SQL Server knowledge. If anyone has a quick and dirty how-to that would be appreciated of course any detailed documents specific to this configuration would also be greatly appreciated.
using the following syntax in SQL 2005 (win 2003) to restore a log to a marked transaction. Code runs ok but I'm never getting back to the point in time where id 13 still exists , help !
kind regards

i have a SQL 2008 R2 RTM production instance, in which we run dBCC CheckDB every weekend to check on the DB. This weekend this sql job returned the error:

We tried to rebuild the indexes in the table: tblDistpatch...the non clustered indexes ran fine however the cluster index rebuilt returned an error:
Error: The statement has been terminated. Msg 829, Level 21, State 1, Line 1
Database ID 3, Page (1:7650240) is marked RestorePending, which may indicate disk corruption. To recover from this state, perform a restore.in TEST environment we were able to reproduce this error by restoring latest backup.
then we ran dbcc checkdb and no errors where found.
my question comes with in your experience is this the best possible way to fix this table?only one table, but running this in production environment will required to put db in single user mode first.
We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.
Message #1 The replication agent has been successfully started. See the Replication Monitor for more information.

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.
We are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
Is it possible to do a full restore of a database without restoring the full-text catalogs? At the end of each month, we restore a copy of a database for quick access to month-end data with a different name. e.g. we restore the database DBN as DBN1107. Since upgrading to SQL 2005, the restore is failing because it it trying to restore the full-text catalog.
I canceled a restore job, and now the database is marked (Loading). When I go to propertied it tells me "database can't be opened, it's in a middle of a restore" Yet from a Query window I can connect and run queries against that database. Should I just wait until it finishes "Loading" or should I re-start the server? Thanks
After the power failure my database was marked suspect. According to my associate we will execute SQL command sp_resetstatus. My question is what are the things we have to do first before we execute the command? We are using NT 4.
I have a 3GB DB that I was running an update script on. The sript failed and ran out of transaction log space. I expanded it and stopped and restarted SQL. The user DB is now marked as recovering. How long should I wait for it to recover? I don't want to have to restore again and start all over with my script. Please help.

DBCC CHECKDB (A2PD,REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) The above command was not executed as there was some long rollback was going from a user...
I stopped and re started the MSSQLSERVR service...
Then i found the follwing error..
how can i work with the database A2PD marked as suspect
Server: Msg 926, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Database 'A2PD' cannot be opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery. See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
Hi,I restored my Windows XP system and discovered that I cannot access aMSDE DB that was saved in D: drive (I restored my primary partition inC). How can I restore it?Thanks a lot.
Hi there, I need urgent help regarding a database that has been marked as suspect. I need to get the data from the database!!
I have a copy of the structure of the database but I need to get cerain very recent data from the database. I have tried bcp and it doesn't work. The backup that I have won't sufice
If a database is marked as suspect, Will it recover?> And if so how long will it take. If it won't recover is there any other way of getting the data, Thanks in advance, Fin
i have a scheduled job which shrinks the database every day once at 12 am
today the job got failed
In the view Job history its showing the below contents ------------------------------------------------------- Database 'ecatalog' is already open and can only have one user at a time. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 924) DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 2528). The step failed.

I ran the job manually it worked fine
but now when i go and see the database ecatalog in my Enterprise Manager it is showing ecatalog(Single User) What is the meaning of this, will this make any problem to my database
When restoring a database that contained a full text catalog to another server I noticed that the full text catalogs were not restored. However, the system tables still had the information on these catalogs. As such, I couldn't delete the catalogs (because they didn't exist).
In the end, I deleted the relevant lines from the system table sysfulltextcatalogs and sysobjects and then built a new set of catalogs. Obviously this isn't ideal.
I am restoring databases to a backup/standby server on a regular basis and was wondering if there are any official/documented methods of restoring full text catalogs to another server. (i.e. without having to mess around with the system tables). There doesn't seem to be much in BOL.
i want to restore a database but not the log file. the backup has the data and log files in it. i tried doing a search for this but kept finding examples about restoring backups that dont have log files. i want to do the opposite.
I have the MS SQL2000 database failed to recover at computer restart. Now the database is marked suspect. How can I manage to recover the data? Thank you.
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I restored a full backup with NORECOVERY because I need to restore the differentials as well but I have not been able to access the db. No matter what I seem to try i receive the following error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: This differential backup cannot be restored because the database has not been restored to the correct earlier state. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I'm working on a restore procedure for the case where all MDF filesare missing, but the LDF files are all intact. A full backup is doneevery 24 hours, and a log backup is done every 3 hours. Afterrestoring the last full + log backups, is it at all possible to usethe LDF files to recover data from that point up to a newer point intime?I've found a post which explains how to do this on SQL Server 2000<http://groups.google.com/group/comp...s.ms-sqlserver/browse_thread/thread/3ef5c7cbc0a83334/f3b0c70811d35ed7>, but step 4fails with the following error message:BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current databasebackup.
Hi All, I am trying to restore full backup in Sql Server 2005. I am using the following query to restore full backup. "Restore database Testdb from Disk = 'C:Testdbfull.bak' with move 'Testdb' to 'C:DBTestdb.mdf ', move 'Testdb_log' to 'C:DBTestdb_log.ldf ', norecovery "
The above query is running successfully and database restored. But i am not able to access this database since in the database tab it is showing 'Testdb (Restoring)' The next day I want to restore the differential database backup so i used the 'norecovery' statement. please help why it is showing as '(Restoring)'
I make two full backups on Oct 1 and Oct 10. I want to restore the server to a state in Oct 5. So I just do as follows:
1.Perform a transaction log backup on the server on Oct 23. I have never backup transaction log in the past. 2. Restore the server with Oct 1 full backup with NORECOVERY option. 3.Try to restore to the point at Oct 5 12:00, with the transaction log.
But the restore fails and SQL Server said the transaction log does not contain the point. The point is too early. Why? Also my .LDF file is about 13G, but the transaction log backup is only 200MB. Why?
