is database4 the only database which have the problem OR there are other database as well.

Just try to rename the mdf and ldf file of the database. Are you able to rename it with any other name or getting the error as file is in use.
If getting error in rename then it still being accessed by sql server.
Just run the query in master :-
select * From sysdatabases and check the status.

And recovery option(when all hope gone), try restoring with latest backup set with different name. But before this I will really like to see the errors you getting in above step to resovle the case further

Hi,

Problem is with all the db except(master,model,tempdb) but still I can not see the properties of (master,model,tempdb) from Object explorer.

I checked the status of all db in sysdatabases and all of them are online.
Hence, I can not rename file names.

They do not have latest backup of db as well.

I tried on trick and that worked but I believe thats not the proper solutions.

-I just deattached db one by one & attached again and that worked fine.

Hi,

Even I dont understand the logic behind this, I just done that to make their db available for the time being.

How come deattach/attach can resolve this issue?

Cheers,
Vivek

Hi,

My guess is that this is file permissions related. That might be why dettach/attach resolves the issue. This causes SQL server to apply an ACL to the mdf and ldf, overwriting your permissions and giving the service account and administrators full access.

Thanks,

Gian
