I have a database in recovery mode that was part of a mirroring test. I dropped the mirror on the principal and deleted the mirroring endpoints.The db still exist in the SQL studio manager but when I run, select * from select * from sys.databases it does not exist. The db does show up in the restore db options.
When I right click on the database and click delete it says:
The database 'Replication_Test' is enabled for database mirroring. Database mirroring must be removed before you drop the database. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3743)
I tried to restore the database with recovery and overwrite enabled and it says:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE cannot operate on database 'Replication_Test' because it is configured for database mirroring. Use ALTER DATABASE to remove mirroring if you intend to restore the database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
So I run the following command "ALTER DATABASE Replication_Test SET PARTNER OFF" and it says:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Database 'Replication_Test' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Any ideas?
Did you disable mirroring on the principle or just on the standby? I think you need to disable both.
