Backing SQL DB

  • How do I stop a SQL database from being in warm stand by mode?

  • RESTORE DATABASE database name WITH RECOVERY

  • Hi I tried the command and it says that the Database is in use.

    Thanks.

  • Is there a restore operation occurring? It could be in STANDBY, which would allow read connections to it. You would need to remove those connections. Either tell people to disconnect or use KILL.

  • Hi,

    I am not aware of a restore operation that being performed on the DB. I was having issues with by Disk to disk backup, which turn out to be vend hardware issues, so I had the backup software tech support helping me out with the setup of the backup job. However the disk backup is not taken out of commission and now every time I am doing a full backup to tape I get the message that the DB is in standby state. I am not a DBA so I do have issues with running SQL command.

    So I am still stuck with not able to do a full backup because for some reason the DB is still is warm standby state. I try the command RESTORE DATABASE as mentioned one of the DB and it works but when I tried it on others I got the message that the DB is in use.

    any suggestions is very much appreciated.

    Thanks.
