Database stuck in Restoring state fix error Error: Msg 927 Database cannot be opened

Problem: SQL Server: Database stuck in "Restoring" state

Error: Msg 927, Level 14, State 2, Line 56 Database 'DBPl2' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restoration. fix

1)we're trying to restore a SQL Server database named like "DBPl2" from a backup file.
2)The restore command includes the "WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY" options.

Fix Issues:


The script we provided is for restoring an SQL Server database from a backup file. It uses the "RESTORE DATABASE" command and specifies the backup file and options. Here's the script for reference:


we need to use the WITH RECOVERY option, with our database RESTORE command, to bring our database online as part of the restore process.

This is of course only if we do not intend to restore any transaction log backups, i.e. we only wish to restore a database backup and then be able to access the database.

were command should look like this,
RESTORE DATABASE DBPl2
FROM DISK = 'F:\DBPl2_backup_2023_09_24_000003_7474279.bak'
WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY

we may have more success using the restore database wizard in SQL Server Management Studio. This way we can select the specific file locations, the overwrite option, and the WITH Recovery option.

Output: The output of this SQL script would include informational messages indicating the progress and results of the restore operation. we've provided some example output messages in the question:

--Processed 109454332 pages for database 'DBPl2', file 'DataPlan' on file 1.
--Processed 5 pages for database 'DBPl2', file 'DataPlan_log' on file 1.
--RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 1059437 pages in 465.369 seconds (17.785 MB/sec).
