Database stuck in restoring mode

  • SQL Server 2005

    I ran Restore with recovery and now getting

    Msg 927, Level 14, State 2, Line 1

    Database 'XXXX' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.

  • Did the restore finish without error?

  • No the restore never finished. It like it was just hung. There is no job running for it. I end up dropping and attempt to restore again since this is restoring one database to another. Just wanted to know for future--what can I do if anything but drop the database.

    Thks in advance...

  • If the restore never finished, drop the DB and restore again.
