Database cannot be opened

By Blogger
One of our developers raised an issue mentioning that he tried to connect to the database but and he seemed database was corrupt\disabled. He mentioned that the day before they did some work on that database which made the database grow considerably. Following is the message he faced:

When I connected to the SQL server instance I found that I was not able to expand the database abc and when I checked the shutdown property of database I found that it was shutdown. Following is the screenshot.


I executed following commands to make the database offline. Make sure you do this from the server itself and not from any client machine.

Then executed the following command to make the database online again.

This bought the database online again.

We knew that Microsoft does not recommend to migrate the existing cluster to a different domain (Read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269196 ). The business could not afford the time to build a new cluster in the target domain and move the databases to the SQL Server instance created on target cluster. We uninstalled the SQL server after backing up each database. Server team removed the nodes from the cluster and then moved each node to a new domain. We then installed the SQL Server and attached (since time was constraint) each databases back. All the databases were running fine and we could use them. We restored the master and msdb database so that all the logins, jobs and integration packages are back in place. Later while setting up distribution for replication we faced the first error: There is no remote user 'distributor_admin' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'repl_dist...

Recently one of the developers sent me following error: Message: SQL Error [Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: There is insufficient memory available in the buffer pool.

I checked the memory usage by components under Memory Consumption server report. Following is the screenshot of the report: I found that CACHESTORE_SQLCP was allocated most memory. This type of memory clerk indicates memory consumption by plans of SQL statements or batches not found in any stored procedures, triggers or functions. I just wanted to clear pool for CACHESTORE_SQLCP. The name for this memory clerk is "SQL Plans". Which I found by querying sys.dm_os_memory_clerks dynamic management view. I then executed the following command to clear the pool for CACHESTORE_SQLCP. DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE('SQL Plans') The memory a...
