Restore

Hi:
I am having a problem with restoring a databaase. My databse is around 7
GB. I am restoring it from last night backup as a different database name
using enterprise manager. After it restores successfully, it displays the
database in enterprise manager with loading status, i.e.,
MyDatabaseName(Loading). It stays in that status and does not refresh the
objects in it. I have tried this other smaller databases and it works fine.
I do not know why it is not working for this database.
Thanks for your help.
Did you specify what state you should leave the database in upon completion.
If you specified "NORECOVERY" it will be in loading status thinking one of
more transaction logs need to be restored.

|||Thanks for quick reply. No, I did not specify "NoRecovery". Actually I am
using enterprise manager to restore. The default option is "Leave database
operational. No additional logs can be restored.". So It should not be
expecting any transactional logs. Any more suggestion would be helpful.
Thanks

also tried Restore Database DatabaseName with Recovery. This should activate
the database if waiting for transaction log to be applied but it gives an
error message that databse is partially restored. I do not know what's
happening. I did not happen with smaller databases. My database size is
about 7 or 8 GB. It should be able to handle that without any problem.
Anyway I end up doing detach/copy/attach to restore the database.
I am curious to know what is going on here.
Thanks for your reply.
