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
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
Simon

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:
DBCC RESULTS -------------------- <DbccResults> <Dbcc ID="0" Error="8928" Severity="16" State="1">Object ID 866531312, index ID 1, partition ID 72057602979266560 , alloc unit ID 72057603064397824 (type In-row data): Page (1:7650240) could not be processed.

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.
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.

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.
And in Application Log of event viewer its showing the below contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The description for Event ID ( 208 ) in Source ( SQLServerAgent$ABCSQL ) cannot be found.

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
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 have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration: WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5 SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers: Production Server Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem: How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server? The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore. If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement: Standby Server - RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Hi! maybe this question is very common, but i can resolve that. I have a DB marked 'loading', and nothing seems to change this state. Is any way to revert to a normal state, or the only way is destroy and re-create? Thanks in advance
I want to know if the System.Xml.XmlTextReader is marked with Host Protection Attributes(HPA) in the SQL Server 2005 CLR. I ask this because when I add a custom class that inherits from System.Xml.XmlTextReader, I get a code access security error at runtime. I am able to register the assembly just fine. I have tested it with all the cases and pretty much sure my code breaks in this class.
My code snippet is shown below:
public class CustomXmlTextReader : XmlTextReader { ...... ...... }
Doesn't really matter what is in this class. It gives an expection even when there is no code inside.
Appreciate if somebody take out a moment and help me here. I'm having a production database backing up every night at 10:00PM. I've one more development server sitting side by and want this development server to load the production backup copy every night. But the problem what I'm encoutering is, When there are users connected to my development server, It wont get load saying "Database is in Use".
Therefore is there a command, I kill all users at one short and have a task which will load the database? If so, Please let me know how to do this.
Does everyone have experience to load a big database? My SQL Server 2K is running on W2K. The database is 4GB, and the biggest table has 12 million records. Thanks a lot.
I am an administrator of a SQL server 2000 machine residing on a windows 2000 box. I tried restoring a database on this server from a backup file that i copied from another server. Halfway through the restore, the user comes up to me saying they did not want the database restored again. I stopped the restore process and since then it has not gone back to its previous state. Secondly it is grayed out with a (loading) text next to the database icon.
how did this happen and how do you suggest i solve this.
Hi all, I have a big problem with a Database on SQL-Server7.0 running on windows 2000 advanced server. The msdb database is marked suspect. I have tried a few suggestions in the SQL BOL but no luck.
We have a new installation on Friday which was running fine. Unfortunately today, the msdb is marked suspect. Do I uninstall and reload SQL server or change the status. We only have a training data on the server presently. Does anybody has any other suggestions? Please help. Thanks for your assistance.
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.

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.
I am trying to load transaction log but I am getting an error message saying database is in use, my question is Is it possible to load transaction log when database is in use? if yes how?
I read in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services by Kirk Haselden that the BULK INSERT task was provided for backward compatibility and its use is disrecommended.
But after looking on the web I cannot find information supporting this.
Do you think the BULK INSERT task should be used for new development?
Here I will describe my problem. 1. We are loading large amount of data from database on background thread which is starting on Application_start event in global.aspx.cs file.The data is later cached for subsquent request to improve the performance. 2. Now when we put the application on web farm garden, it is not able to load the application. 3. We are sending the request the servers through Router kind of application. 4 This application is working fine on single server enviornment.
