Database starting up

  • Hi,

    I have one database that won't finish starting up. The message 'XXX is starting up' keeps showing up in the SQL event log. What is the problem? Thanks.

  • Hi there

    Please email the exacte messages in the log.

    Also, what does the database show up as in EM?

    Run this query and post the results:

    select name, dbid, mode,status,status2

    from master..sysdatabases

    Your db in the result set btw?

    Cheers

    Ck

  • Use Enterprise Manager, drill down to the database, right click on the database, select Properties, go to the Options tab.

    Is Auto-Close checked or unchecked?

    It should be UNCHECKED.

    If it's checked, then everytime a connection completes, the database closes. Which means it has to be started for every new connection.
