I opened my SQL Server Database application to access a specific database but I was unsuccessful at establishing a connection with it. When I looked at the status of the database from the Folder view I saw that it was marked as Recovery Pending. Is there a logical explanation for this condition to occur in my database?

  • There may be some amount of corruption present in the SQL Server Database
  • n
  • No memory allocated to the SQL Server database to solve this error during startup.
  • n
  • The internal files of the SQL Database are being used by the Operating System or some other Backup software
  • n
  • Unexpected SQL Server Shutdown, due to hardware or Power Failure.

nnYou can solve this problem of Recovery Pending mode by the help of manual commands in SQL or through a third party Tool.

Hey, nI tried the manual solution you mentioned about and it became too complex for me to implement properly. Is there a simpler alternative which won't take up too much of my time and can be applied easily?
