I was restoring a nightly backup for a application upgrade that failed and even after the restore of app server and db the application did not like the database. I restored the database with 'Overwrite...' and the application was able to connect.
If the database had been updated then i restored a prior backup why would the restored application see the database as different? Are there a database properties that do not get reset on restore?
thanks

Do you have the respective RESTORE statements that you used? If you restore with NORECOVERY, for example, you won't be able to access the database until you've recovered it. If there are active transactions in the log and you don't use WITH REPLACE (overwrite), the restore will fail. This is one of the reasons why I prefer T-SQL to using the GUI - you can always go back and see what you did.

'Overwrite' is not a T-SQL RESTORE option. Did you mean REPLACE, perhaps?
If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
