Database in 2012 Express with SP1 frequently goes to "Recovery Pending" Status

We have installed 2012 Express with SP1 on Windows Server 2008 SP2 Standard (on Virtual machine).
The database is with the capacity of around 200 Megs only but frequently the database is going to "Recovery Pending" status.
There was no server or instance restart.
Simply by running the following command, we are able to bring back the db to online
ALTER DATABASE MYDB SET ONLINE
There is no notable message recorded in SQL Errorlog.
Any clue or idea what could be the cause of this frequent Recovery Pending status for a particular database ?
Note: We have executed the DBCC CHECKDB on this database and the db is intact.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
"Recovery Pending" state indicate that Database has encountered a resource-related error during recovery. the most common one is the log file is missing or corrupt. If the error occurs due to log file corruption, Please try to switch the database to emergency
mode, then to single user mode, run DBCC CHECKDB with the repair_allow_data_loss option to repair the database.

Unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1

I am unable to get SQL Server Agent to run after installing SQL 2012 Standard with SP1. Log message is as follows:
Attempting to load library 'xplog70.dll' into memory. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
Failed to verify Authenticode signature on DLL 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Binn\xplog70.dll'.
Error: 17750, Severity: 16, State: 0.
Could not load the DLL xplog70.dll, or one of the DLLs it references. Reason: (null).

Hi JFriedley,
According to your error message, there might three reasons for this issue.
xplog70.dll is corrupt, you need to check if you have any SQL Server running on same file version and same production
edition. If xplog70.dll is corrupt, you can copy it from the new server where agent is running fine to your problematic server.
Native client not installed properly. If you try applying any latest Service Pack or Cumulative Update then check if the SQL Server Agent can start, if that also doesn’t solve issue then try to reinstalling SQL Server Native client from SQL Server setup
files.
There is a similar issue about error 17750, you can review the following article.

My iphone 3gs factory unlocked phone frequently goes into recovery mode. can anyone help me out from this?

my iphone 3gs is an factory unlocked phone running on ios 6.1.3 which frequently goes into recovery mode. mostly atleast once in a week...how can i fi this problem???

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Database msdb cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space - in recovery pending status

came in this fine monday morning and it looks like developers were running some kind of trace that filled the primary DATA folder with about 80,000 5mb trace files. now that process has stopped and the logfiles have been cleaned up, but when attempting to connect to the server using the management console i get the error:
Database 'msdb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
when i check the status it is in recovery pending mode. i have a backup from yesterday but im not sure if this database became corrupt before that backup or not because this process was ongoing over the weekend. the last timestamp on the msdb and log files is 7am this morning..
I am not sure how to proceed recovering the msdb database with limiting interruption to the users. any advice is extremely appreciated. this is sql server 2008. i can login via sqlcmd and see it is in recovery pending status:
1> select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
2> sys.databases where name ='msdb'
3> go
select state_desc databasestatus_sysdtabase from
sys.databases where name ='msdb'
databasestatus_sysdtabase
RECOVERY_PENDING
(1 rows affected)
1>

For someone experiencing a similar problem this answer is unacceptable. You're basically telling me to reboot the server to fix this. You vaguely mention using process explorer to find out who is using the file. Can you please provide
some more information on that? I have a similar problem and rebooting the server to fix it is not an option. This problem keeps reoccurring.
OS Error 32 means file has an open handle by someone else. If that is a user process then you can catch it via Process Explorer. If it's a kernel mode object then it's difficult to catch that and restart is the only choice.

SQL Server 2012 Express Edition SP1 Limitations

Our software company is working on many project where are used several versions of SQL Server (2005, 2008, 2008R2, 2012).
Our ICT department applies a procedure that involves the installation of a developer version of the product (each product version) on each of the computer engineers.
One of our colleagues in the developer team tells me to install SQL Server Express Edition SP1 as it would be able to replace all previous developer versions.
He also told me that SQL Server Express Edition SP1 has now the same functions as the developer version.
All this sounds strange to me, and before upgrading all computers to all developers would like to find confirmation from the guidelines supplied by my colleague.
I did a quick search but can not find clear information on SP1 if not this
link which shows that the express version has obvious limitations compared to other versions.
Anyone knows where I could find more detailed information about the limitations of SP1 and a clear comparison with the developer version?
Any help would be awesome.
Luca

>He also told me that SQL Server Express Edition SP1 has now the same functions as the developer version.
That is FALSE.
Developer has the same features as the Enterprise (ALL THE FEATURES) but cannot be used for production.
Express is a limited SS version.

Using SQL Server 2012 Express with Bitocker

Hello,
I'm currently working on getting our SQL Server Express database working with BitLocker but I am coming across a few problems. Here is my scenario:
The OS is partitioned into two volumes (C and D).
The C volume contains the OS and Software, while the D volume is primarily used for the database files (logs, back, and mdf).
The D volume is encrypted using BitLocker
The database connects using the SA account (SQL Server Authentication)
From what I understand, BitLocker must be enabled with the same account that the SQL Server is running on. So what I have done is change the SQL Server service account to the user account (lets say its called User) via SQL Configuration Manager. While staying
logged into User account, I then enable BitLocker via Control Panel -> System and Security -> BitLocker Drive Encryption. I then reboot and then while the software is trying to connect to the database I get the following exception:
'login failed for user sa'.
Is there anything I need to do to get this working? Thanks for the help.

Hi moncadad,
When you turn off BitLocker, does the database also show “Recovery Pending”? If so, the simplest cause for “Recovery Pending” might be that a disk spin-up was slow, or a disk became full. Please read this
blog to fix the issue, then check if you can successfully connect to the database after you turn on BitLocker.
However, if you are not able to view the database contents only after you turn on BitLocker, I suspect that there are some issues about configuring BitLocker. As far as I know, Bitlocker must be performed by a member of Local Admins Group, please make sure
that your account is a member of Local Admins Group on your computer.
Also I would like to recommend you post the question in the
Microsoft Bitlocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) forum to get better support. For more details about configuring SQL Server with Bitlocker, please review the following similar articles.

SQL 2012 database stuck in Recovery Pending status

Hey all. Thanks in advance to anybody that can please help me. I have a SQL cluster which ran out of disk the other day. I threw plenty more disk at the SAN. However, 1 of the databases came back with Recovery Pending and has been
over 24 hours. I have tried to backup the database with no success. I don't have a clean backup from the day it occured so would have a good amount of work missing.
Running a dbcc check returns the following:
Msg 945, Level 14, State 2, Line 1
Database 'sqldb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.
I have not tried a dbcc check with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS as there seems to be a high risk of losing whatever was going on. Does anybody have an idea of how I can get the db back online?

Just a note... the database is not in Suspect mode, it is in Recovery mode. If there is a transaction in process, attaching and reattaching may or may not trigger the transaction to complete. The answer would be different if the database
were in suspect mode. The fact that it is now in CHECKPOINT shows that there is an incomplete transaction. Once back online, a backup can occur and the CHECKPOINT can resolve.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/110139?wa=wsignin1.0
Seems to me this is more like a case where the database is in log ship mode. In that case, the solution is relatively simple (this is not what needs to happen... it simulates what has happened):
RESTORE DATABASE MyDB WITH RECOVERY
USE master
ALTER DATABASE MyDB SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
ALTER DATABASE MyDB SET ONLINE
RESTORE DATABASE MyDB WITH RECOVERY
I don't believe you want to rollback anything though. As you state above, the big trick is to bring it online.
I think you can get it into Single User Mode and then from there, restore the diffs and the logs after backing up the tail, then restore the tail and put it back into multi-user mode. Given the difference in opinion here, I am feeling a little gunshy.
RESTORE DATABASE [MyDB]
FROM DISK = 'c:\MyDB.BAK'
WITH MOVE 'MyDB_Data' TO 'c:\data\MyDB.mdf',
MOVE 'MyDB_Log' TO 'c:\data\MyDB_log.ldf'

SSMS for SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows Embedded 8 Standard

Hello,
I have installed SQL Server 2012 Express with Advanced Tools (SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe, downloaded from MS website) on Windows Embedded 8 Standard 64-bit. But, when I try to find SQL Server Management Studio, I realized it's not installed (same installation
package works fine on my Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit laptop, where SSMS gets installed). How do I fix this? And any other ways for trouble-shooting DBs on Windows Embedded 8 Standard?
Thanks,
Jay

ScenarioEngine.exe has stopped working when trying to install sqlserver 2014 Express with tools.

I have downloaded the enu file from MS, for the above SQLServer 2014 express edition.
After checking that all the prerequisets had been met, I extracted the files, from the enu, to a folder and ran the Setup.exe.
Immediately, I received the warning "The ScenarioEngine.exe has stopped working" and the installation stops.
I did not encounter this issue installing SQLServer 2012 Express with tools, on the same pc, and it has been running without any issues,
The pc concerned is running Windows 8.1.

SQL Server 2014
1. Save the following in a text file, change the extension to .reg, double-click on the file, and on the prompt that appears, select yes to populate the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Bootstrap]
"BootstrapDir"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\120\\Setup Bootstrap\\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Bootstrap\Setup]
"PatchLevel"="12.00.2000.80"
2. Next, copy the following files and folders from the media to the specified destinations:
File/Folder in media
Destination
X64/X86 folder (depending on what architecture you want to install)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2014
Setup.exe
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2014
Resources folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2014
Next, re-run the setup, and it should proceed beyond the point of error this time.
As always, comments/suggestions/feedback are welcome and solicited.

SqlLocalDB.exe not Installed when sql Server 2012 Express (LocalDb Edition) is installed

I have been having a very frustrating time trying to connect to a localDB instance of SQL Server 2012. So I started again from scratch on another computer (Windows 7). I first installed sql server 2012 Express with tools (via ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe)
and then installed the LocalDB Edition via sqlLocalDB.msi. The first installation seems to have gone OK. The second installation proceeded normally and finally advised that "Setup has installed SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB successfully."
A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was
not amongst them.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? From where can I download a copy of sqlLocalDB.exe

A whole lot of files were installed in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\LocalDB\Binn, including sqlservr.exe. But the SqlLocalDB.exe utility was

OEM10g with pending status

Hi,
I've recreated EM, I've deleted all manually before, because drop or recreate command hangs in "Getting temp tablespace". It is 10.2.0.1.0 in Centos. I've deleted sysman user, and so on ... I've created EM again and it is ok, but when I go to the url, I enter with sys user and it shows "Pending Status".
I've searched in google, people speaks about tzregion in emd.properties, but it is ok ...
When I do emctl status dbconsole, it shows that it is running, and if I do the same for agent, it shows running and ready.
Can someone help me? Thanks beforehand.

Hi
What u can do login with ID who make approval
Then
Administrator > Approval procedure > Approval Status Report
Check Mark only Pending
So will display all transaction which are in Suspend Mode
Right click and choose cancel.
That will no further carry in pending stage...
as per me there is no way to delete pending records....
Thanks

Setup closed with exit code: 0x84C40013 - Silent Install error - SQL Server 2012 express management studio SP1

I am trying to create a silent installation package for SQL Server 2012 Express Management Studio SP1. (both x86 & x64)
Prior to installation I have performed the following :
1. Turned ON the Windows feature 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1' (I had read somewhere on the internet that this is required prior to installation)
2. Installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0
I am using the following command line to perform an unattended install :
<EXENAME> /Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
However, the installation fails abruptly.
The application installs successfully with the following command line :
<EXENAME> /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
The error occurs only while attempting to install the application with the /Q switch appended.
Please help.

Hello Fanny,
Thanks for providing the link to the SQL Server 2012 unattended install guide.
However, I must highlight that I was running the setup.exe with "Run As a Administrator" option and still facing the issue.
Anyways, I found out the root cause and I must say that it was a rather silly one.
As I had stated previously, the following command line was causing the issue :
<EXENAME>
/Q /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=install /FEATURES=Tools
I simply changed it to the following and it worked....
<EXENAME>
/QUIET /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /ACTION=INSTALL /FEATURES=TOOLS
It so seems that everything must be in CAPITALS for this to work.
Regards,
Soumen

SQL Server 2012 Express Install on Windows 7 SP1 Embedded not using virtual account?

Hi there,
I did a default installation of SQL Server 2012 Express on Windows 7 embedded Standard SP1.
When I look at the SQLSERVER service credential it is configured to run under "NETWORK SERVICE" instead of the virtual account "NT SERVICE\MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS".
This is different from SQL 2012 Express installation on a non-embedded Windows 7.
Why is this difference?
Secondly, because of this, I am unable to take a backup of databases to any folder other than the default SQL folder.

Hi Chandrasekaran,
As Local Service account, the Network Service account and high privileged Local System account could be used by many services.
It becomes harder to track which service is actually accessing resources and performing actions, because all the services are using the one Network Service account or other account.
In Windows7 and Windows Server 2008R2, it introduces a new type of account called a virtual account, which emulates creating many unique instances of the Network Service account, so each service runs with its own instance of the Network Service account.
For example, when you install SQL 2012 on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 and later you’ll see the services run with virtual service accounts named like:
in the format NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>.
According to your description, when the SQLSERVER service was run under “NETWORK SERVICE”, you only back up database to the default SQL folder. It may be caused by the NETWORK SERVICE account has limited local privileges, just accesses network
resource with the computer credential. I recommend you change the account to Local System account, by default, which has full permissions on your computer.
For more information about SQL Server service account and virtual account, you can review the following articles.
