database icon say (Loading)

  • SQL Server 2000 in Windows 2003

    I did a restore, the restore is not successful. In EM, my database icon say loading when I left it @ 5 pm. Then I checked the logs say that trying to restore. I left it overnight then when I come back this morning @ 9:00 am still saying loading. Any ideas what is wrong?

  • How large is the db? Loading means just that, it's loading from a restore. Is it possible that you checked the box that allows for more restores?

    Did the restore complete?

  • Or did you restore with norecovery option? Check SQL Server errorlog, If you see message "Bypassing recovery for database 'xxx' because it is marked IN LOAD", Try restore the database recovery option.

  • Here's the error log:

    My full backup is successful but my differential backup and transaction logs got an error messages.

    Yep, NORECOVERY...

    How to do the restore database recovery option???

  • just a small db...where is the box???

    restore complete with errors...

  • restore database LEON with recovery

     

  • It looks to me like everything went well except that you didn't use the 'WITH RECOVERY' clause on your last restore.  As Allen said, all that is required at this point is

    RESTORE DATABASE LEON WITH RECOVERY

    In the future, you would do everything just as you did in this case, except when you restore the last backup file, whether its a log backup, differential, or just one full, instead of NORECOVERY, say RECOVERY.
