Sql server restart

  • Hi

    In my sql server i configured a scheduled restart of sql services at 8 pm.To day I faced a problem that sql server not started.I got the message from error log that "CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) while attempting to open or create the physical file ..\...\tempdb.mdf"

    I tried to start it manually then it is working fine.

    Kindly help me for the root cause

  • It is a bad practise to restart sqlserver instances if not explicitly needed !

    (all cached objects will need physical IO to get cached again (your apps will notice !), all in memory counters and statistics will need to be rebuild (by the system), ...

    Why are you doing this on a scheduled basis (we have sqlservers up and running for more than 2 years (sql2000 sp4) !)

    Depending on the command you issue, your startup can fail if it did not wait long enough for your stop command to finish.
