Database in recovery

I have a database currently showing to be in recovery. I have not been able to find a GUI method to monitor the progress (to determine when it might complete) so is there a command line T-SQL method to monitor the recovery process?

If this is 2005, this might be what you need:

select der.session_id, der.command, der.status, der.percent_complete, *
from sys.dm_exec_requests as der

It works for other types of commands that have known progress indicators. If not, then I really don't think it tells you. You might also check the error log to see how long it took the previous time...

Thanks Louis! It worked fine and the database eventually did recover.

|||Thanks Louis, it works for me too..

Database In Recovery

What does it actually mean when the database is in recovery? My database has been in recovery overnight. What is normally going on in this situation. Should I wait or take more drastic action?

when your database is marked as recovering it is rolling forward all the committed transations and rolling back the uncommitted transactions......consider this scenario,when you do some bulk insert operations for many hrs and if you want to kill the process it will be roll backing state for hrs.....and if you abruptly restart the sql services it wud be in marked as recovering state and will come to normal if it fully recovers.....which is nothing but rolling forward and roll back operations

guys, pls correct me if am wrong !!!

|||

Is the state reported RESTORING or RECOVERING? They have different meanings and actions.

Thanks,

|||

Based on below I am saying Recovering.

|||

I'm guessing that you tried to paste a screenshot?

Can you tell me:

What version (and SP) of SQL you're running

Where you are looking to find the state

exactly what it says

What happened to the database leading up to this state (i.e. did the server crash and restart, did you restore the database? if so, what command did you use?

One common mistake is to use RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY on the last restore, which will leave the database in a RESTORING state until you run RESTORE WITH RECOVERY on it.

|||

In SQL Server Management Studio when I expand my databases folder it says (In Recovery) in parenthesis next to database name. This apparently was caused as a result of a server crash and restart due to device driver problem. I have tried to run RESTORE WITH RECOVERY, but that or anything else I try with the database tells me I can't do anything until recovery is complete.

I left off version info from previous reply.

My other database has finished, but I have not checked out yet. The "ReportServer" database now says (Suspect) and my "ReportServerTempDB" still says (In Recovery).

|||

refer, http://deepakinsql.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-recover-from-suspect-database.html to bring the suspect database back to normalcy.......if the db is marked you cannot use the db.......check if there is sufficient disk space for the log file to grow and ensure that the data and log files are not accessed by any antivirus process etc.....those might be the reason for the db marked as suspect..........

|||

Actually, it sounds like your databases are recovering and coming online.

What we need to look at is why it is taking so long.

Are there hardware errors being reported which could be slowing things down?

Were there long-running transactions which would take a long time to roll back?

Database In Recovery

Hello all,

Is there a way to check the status of a database in recovery. Like how far along it may be. If not is there a way to stop a database in recovery and just drop it.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

There should be progress messages in the errorlog indicating percent complete and how long it is expected to continue?

What version of SQL are you running?

|||

Sorry im running SQL SERVER 2005 Standard Edition.

And you were correct it is in there. It looks like im looking at 9 hours to recover. Is there a way to stop the recovery? I can drop the database and reload the tables faster than that.

Thanks again,

Mike

|||

The only way to prevent recovery is to stop the server and delete or rename one of the database files. Then you can drop it after it comes up recovery pending on the server restart.

What phase of recovery is the database in? Is there just an enormous transaction to rollback?

|||

The recovery is in phase 2. The trans logs are about 58GB. I think i will do what you said that way I can just drop and create.

Thank You,

Mike

Having same problem with database being in recovery. Has been running for a number of hours.

Below is message that repeats frequently in log file. However, I don't really know how to interpret it.

Process 16:0:0 (0xb78) Worker 0x03D880E8 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 1. Thread creation time: 12831081295625. Approx Thread CPU Used: kernel 265 ms, user 76778796 ms. Process Utilization 49%. System Idle 49%. Interval: 76832057 ms.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Database in recovery

Our server ran out of disk space during a stored procedure process. We were able to free up some space, stopped all SQL services, restarted all SQL services and now SQL Management Studio shows the database to be in recovery. Is there a way to monitor this to ensure progress is being made and to estimate when it might complete?

I don't know it can be checked programatically but you can sql error log where you recovery progress will be recorded.

Looks like you guys shutdown the servers in the middle of big transaction....

There will no other option than waiting to recover...

|||

There is a way, via T-SQL to view process progress but apparently not via GUI. The database did eventually recover and we have submitted for a new server as it ran out of disk space during a stored procedure run.

Thanks!

Database in recovery

Hi,
I'm not that familiar with SQL Server, just mainly use it for
development. Anyway I was modifying some keys in some tables last
night. Everything went fine and I continued to use the database.
When i woke this morning and turned on the computer, my database
was in recovery. I am unable to do anything to get it back.
I have tried a few things to alter the database, (ie. set offline, set
single user) but I get an error saying
"Msg 5011, Level 14, State 7, Line 1
User does not have permission to alter database 'trace05e' or the
database does not exist.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed."

I can't find any commands to kill the last three processes.
I need to know two things.
1) How can I find out why my database went into recovery mode?
2) How can I get my database back into normal mode?
Thanks a million in advance
JD
I managed to kill some processes and now I have two left, the one I am
using and one more, which is needed as a transport.
i still cannot execute this statment
RESTORE DATABASE trace05e
WITH RECOVERY
I get
Msg 3101, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
|||Hi
I can only guess. When you start SQL Server it does perfom the opeartion (in
every databases on the server) 'recovering' by using CHECKPOINT command that
means that all transactions are resided in the cache should be REDO/UNDO
depends on its status.

refresh problem in EM/SSMS?

I have now resorted to removing the instance and re-installing it and
trying to get back an older database. I can't run any commands like
dbcc checkdb even on master, there seems to be invisible connections
all over the place.sql

Database in 'In recovery' mode

Hi,
There was the most awful case. During a update of a DB there was a
switching-off of power supplies. After switch on of a server the base has
passed in mode 'Suspect'. To restore base by standard way it was not
possible. Substitution of files and had turned out to open changes of the
status of base data.
Has executed substitution of files of a database. Has successfully opened a
database, structure - all is accessible.
Check of a file of a database on integrity is executed successfully, errors
are not present (DBCC CHECKDB).
I can not create backup, gives out the message that are opened deferred
transactions.
Also, at change of some objects there is a lag of a server that leads to
change of the status of database 'In Recovery'. In 2 and more hours the
status has not changed.
Whether it is necessary to wait for restoration? How to commit deferred tran?
Thank you for any help.
p.s. Backups very old :(Not sure if this is going to work ... a little bit risky but worth a try (I
guess)...
It seemed that some transaction are not clearing so try to rollback the
transaction and then try to backup the database and then try to turn the
database back online, so the command would look like:
USE master
GO
-- First set it to read only and rollback any active transaction
ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName]
SET READ_ONLY WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
-- Backup the database, hopefully it should work since there should not be
any active transaction
BACKUP DATABASE [DatabaseName]
TO DISK = '[FilePathAndName]'
WITH INIT
GO
-- Turn the database back online
ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName]
SET ONLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
Hopefully that would work (but no guarantee...)

Database Growth & Space Recovery Problem

I have done this experiment on one of the tables. There is table called
build havinf nvText Field with large no of records. I want to drop that
column and recover space. These are the results I got.
SP_SPACEUSED BUILD Results
name rows reserved data index_size unused
1. Before Deleting nvText Field
Build 663211 341440 KB 339464 KB 1944 KB 32 KB
2. After Deleting nvText Field
Build 663211 341440 KB 339464 KB 1944 KB 32 KB
3. After Executing the Shrink Database from Enterprise Manager.
Build 663211 608280 KB 604744 KB 3456 KB 80 K
4. After Executing DBCC DBReindex (build,'',70)
Build 663211 124096 KB 123392 KB 712 KB -8 KB
Can anyone please explain me after executing step 3 i.e shrink data
column as well as index_size shows an increased figure whereas logically
it should be a reduced figure.

One thing is that you should be suspicious of the numbers , as you are..
SP_SPaceused reports information from Sysindexes, but the sysindexes info is
NOT updated with everyinsert update or delete...So the numbers may not
reflect the actual size..
For each sp_spaceused in your test , execute like this
exec sp_spaceused 'build', true
The second parameter tells sql to read through the table and update the
estimates, it runs longer but you will get tru results...If the numbers
still look funny, we'll try something else...

Database grew 50% in a week ??

What happened ?
normal volume of transaction.. db recovery is set to simple
Any Idea
Is there any way I can know the size of each table ?
Thanks
Sam
Probably did a reindex. That requires lots of free space other wise it will
grow the db.
