In our case it was caused by the disk drive running out of space. We deleted some junk to free space, then fixed the «Recovery Pending» by stopping and restarting the SQL Server Service.

While using SQL Management Studio, there is an intermittent issue when a user is changing the Database Names then sometimes SQL Server uses the same DB file for two different Databases. If SQL Server is in this state then you would be probably seeing the following error if you try Mahesh’s answer:

«The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process»

To fix this issue:

  1. Stop MSSQLServer service from the Services Console MMC
  2. Rename the DB and the Log files (Database Properties -> Files)
  3. In the Object Explorer window in SQL Management Studio, refresh the ‘Databases Folder’, if you see that there is another Database node (in addition to the one which you are trying to rectify this issue) which is shown in ‘Recovery Pending State’ then proceed to the next step. If you do not see this error then you need to try something else to resolve this issue
  4. Make a backup of the DB and Log files for new offending node from step 3 and !!Careful!! delete the database
  5. Restore the Db File names which you changed in Step 2
  6. Now start the MSSQLServer service from the Services Console
  7. Re-try the steps from Mahesh’s answer

In my case, this affected the secondary server in a High Availability SQL Server cluster.
The primary was Synchronizing but the secondary was Recovery Pending.

After checking in cluadmin.msc, realised that the secondary server wasn’t healthy in the cluster.
Then determined Cluster Service had failed to start on the second cluster box after a Windows Update enforced reboot (may have happened because the file share witness was rebooting after a similar Windows Update at the same time).

Starting the Cluster Service brought the databases back into Synchronizing status.

Ensure that the «Log On» account for the «SQL Server (201x)» service (listed in Windows Services (Manager)) has sufficient rights. You may try changing it to another Logon. In my case, changing it from «This account» to «Local System account», restarting the «SQL Server (xxxx)» service and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), and logging into SSMS again resolved the issue.

Background (in my particular case):
I had 3 different instances of SQL (2008r2, 2012 and 2014) running on my local PC, and was busy moving a folder (which I later discovered contained some SQL data & log database files) to another PC. Halfway through, I stopped the SQL Services in Service (Manager), hoping that the files would move across without issues — since they would now, no longer be in use. I realized that I needed to confirm the database names, and file locations in SQL (in order to set them up again on the new pc), so I copied the SQL data and log files back (to the original locations). After restarting the PC — the majority of the databases on various instances all showed as: «Recovery Pending» in SSMS. After first trying the procedure from stellarinfo (listed as an answer here by @Mahesh Thorat) on 2 of the databases, and still not having any luck, a post SQL SERVER – Where is ERRORLOG? Various Ways to Find ERRORLOG Location on Pinal Dave’s SQL Authority website and the post: Operating System error 5(Access is Denied) on SQL Server Central gave me an idea that it could be rights related after looking at the SQL Errorlog and finding «Operating system error 5: «5(Access is denied.)». Another post Msg 3201, Level 16 Cannot open backup device. Operating system error 5(Access is denied.) at SqlBak Blog seems to support this.

This could happen due to insufficient permissions for a folder with database files (in my case due to a domain migration).

Just give access to the folder for an SQL service’s account.

SQL Server Database States

A SQL database is considered to be damaged if one or more of its core files are in an inconsistent state. Depending on how severe the damage is, the db is marked with different states. Some of these states are:

  • Online – If one of the data files is damaged when executing a query or some other operation, the database will remain online and accessible.
  • Suspect – If a database cannot be recovered during startup of SQL Server, the database is marked as Suspect.
  • Recovery Pending – If the SQL Server knows that database recovery needs to be run but something is preventing it from starting, the Server marks the db in ‘Recovery Pending’ state. This is different from the SUSPECT state because it cannot be said that recovery is going to fail – it just hasn’t started yet.
Recovery Pending State in SQL Server
Figure 1- Database marked in ‘Recovery Pending’ state

Let’s first understand how you can check the current state of the database.  

How to Check Database State?

 To check the current state of an SQL db, run the following query:

SELECT name, state_desc from sys.databases 
GO

Executing the query will give you an output that looks something like:

Different Database States
Figure 2- Database States

Reasons behind Recovery Pending State in SQL Server

Some of the reasons causing such an issue are:

  • The database didn’t shut down properly and there is at least one uncommitted transaction active during the shutdown, resulting in deletion of the active transaction log file.
  • User tried moving the log files to a new drive to overcome server performance issues but ended up corrupting the log files in the process.
  • Database Recovery cannot be initiated due to insufficient memory space or disk storage.

Methods to Fix Recovery Pending in SQL Server Database Issue

Note: Before initiating any of the following repair procedures, make sure to take db backup, so as to have a fail-safe copy in case anything goes wrong.

Method 1 – Manual Ways to Resolve the Database in Pending State

Following are the two manual ways that helps bring SQL database in recovery mode to normal mode:

1. Mark Database in Emergency Mode and Initiate Forceful Repair

Database EMERGENCY mode marks the database as READ_ONLY, disables logging, and grants access only to system administrators. Essentially, setting the db in this mode can bring the inaccessible database online. 

Note: Usually a database comes out of EMERGENCY mode automatically. If you are having issues restoring the db from this mode, read this Recover SQL Database from Emergency Mode to Normal Mode.

Once you have opened the db in EMERGENCY mode, try repairing the database using the DBCC CHECKDB command with the ‘REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS’ option. To do so, open SSMS and execute the following set of queries:

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET EMERGENCY;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set single_user
GO
DBCC CHECKDB ([DBName], REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set multi_user
GO

2. Mark Database in Emergency Mode, Detach the Main Database and Re-attach It

This solution also requires to mark db in EMERGENCY mode. Once done, take the database offline (detach) and then bring it online (re-attach). To do so, execute the following set of queries in SSMS:

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET EMERGENCY;
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set multi_user
EXEC sp_detach_db ‘[DBName]’
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @DBName = ‘[DBName]’, @physname = N'[mdf path]’

The above set of queries help make the server get rid of the corrupt log and build a new one automatically.

Method 2 – Use Stellar Repair for MS SQL Software

If the above methods cannot help resolve the db in recovery pending state issue, use Stellar Repair for MS SQL software. The software can help you repair corrupt database files and bring the database back online from recovery pending state quickly and smoothly.

Conclusion

This post outlined reasons behind ‘db in recovery pending state issue like database is not cleanly shut down, database files (.mdf or .ndf) turned corrupt, insufficient memory or disk space. It also described methods to fix Recovery Pending State in SQL Server Database.

You can fix the database by setting it to emergency state, and initiating the repair process or de-attaching and reattaching the db. But, such solutions have their own downsides:

  • It can only resolve minor database issues.

Three States of SQL Server Databases

If a single or multiple core MDF/NDF files corrupted, an SQL database is likely to be damaged. Different levels of damage will show up in different states. Let’s look into the details.

Tip

You can execute the following query statement to know the SQL server state.

SELECT name, state_desc from sys.databases

GO

  • Online: If one of the data files has been damaged, the database will remain accessible and online.
  • Suspect: The transaction log file is damaged and it inhibits recovery or prevents transaction rollback from completion, which will result in failure of SQL database.
  • Recovery Pending: The SQL Server needs to run database recovery, but is prevented from starting due to some causes. This is unlike a Suspect state that shows recovery may fail, but it has not started yet. 

Reasons for Recovery Pending State in SQL Server

Several factors can lead to recovery pending state in SQL Server database. The main reasons are listed as follows.

  • The database is not cleanly shut down. In other words, one or more unaccomplished transaction is active at that time and its log file has been deleted.
  • The transaction log files are corrupted during the process of transfer to solve performance issues.
  • Insufficient free storage space on the database partition, which causes SQL can’t open the database and can’t lock the database files.

How to Fix Recovery Pending State in SQL Server Database

You can fix the recovery pending state issue in the SQL Server database manually with some queries. Or to avoid worse problems due to misoperations, you can use a professional MS SQL recovery tool to take you through.

Warning
If you are going to fix recovery pending matter manually, you need to input relevant SQL queries. These are highly technical procedures, which can cause serious problems if not handled properly. So back up SQL Server before initiating. Or you can directly use EaseUS MS SQL Recovery software to help you do it in a risk-free way if you are not technical expertise.

Method 1. Mark SQL Database in Emergency Mode

The emergency mode will mark the SQL database as READ_ONLY, disable logging. At this time, DBA is only allowed to access. Entering emergency mode and start database recovery can solve any technical issue. And the database will automatically come out of the EMERGENCY mode.

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET EMERGENCY;

GO

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set single_user

GO

DBCC CHECKDB ([DBName], REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS;

GO

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set multi_user

GO

Method 2. Mark SQL Database in Emergency Mode, Disconnect the Main Database

These queries will cause the server to get rid of the corrupt log and build a new one automatically. 

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET EMERGENCY;

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set multi_user

EXEC sp_detach_db ‘[DBName]’

EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @DBName = ‘[DBName]’, @physname = N'[mdf path]’

An Easier and Risk-Free Way to Fix Recovery Pending State in SQL Server

The above manual solutions can fix recovery pending state issues effectively. If you are a pro at SQL Server database issues, they are your first choices. However, if you don’t know much about SQL Server databases, we highly recommend you try a safer and automated workaround. Use MS SQL recovery software to repair the corrupted database in 823/824/825 errors.

Step 1. Download and run EaseUS MS SQL Recovery.

Step 2. Click the two dots (Browse button) to choose the target MDF file or click «Search» and select the desired file to repair from the list found below. Then, click «Repair» to start the repairing process.

SQL Server Database States

If single or multiple core files cannot be accessed in SQL Server, it means that the SQL Server database is corrupted. According to the degree of damage in the database, there are different states of SQL Server Database that indicate different issues. Some of the states are listed below. Therefore, users can get help in understanding recovery pending SQL server state in depth.

  • Online: If a single file is damaged or corrupted and cannot be accessed, the database remains available and online.
  • Suspect: If the transaction log file is damaged and the recovery is prevented or the transaction is prevented from being rolled back, the SQL database will fail.
  • Recovery Pending: When the SQL server knows that the database needs to be restored but there is an obstacle before starting. This status differs from the suspect mode because it cannot be declared that the database restore has failed but the process has not yet started.

Solve Recovery Pending SQL Server in 5 Steps

  • Launch the Automated Software in System.
  • Select the MDF Files to Remove Corruption.
  • Choose from Quick or Advanced Scan Options.
  • Select Database, Script or CSV to Store Results.
  • Click the Export to get Final File After Recovery.

Know the Reasons for Recovery Pending SQL Server State

Before moving to the solution, you need to know the reasons behind the SQL database in recovery pending state. Some of the main reasons are explained below:

  • The database is not shutting down properly, which means that at least one uncommitted transaction is active at the time the database is shutdown, and the log file for it has been deleted.
  • Due to insufficient space or hard disk space, the SQL database recovery cannot be started.
  • If the primary database files are corrupted then the user may also face this problem
  • The user tried to move the log files to a new drive to resolve server performance issues. But, the log files were damaged.

Manual Method to Fix SQL Server Database Recovery Pending State

There are two manual solutions that can help you to resolve SQL recovery pending status. Follow the below-listed steps carefully to avoid data loss:

Method 1: Mark SQL Database in Emergency Mode and Start Forcefully Repair

GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set single_user
GO
DBCC CHECKDB ([DBName], REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set multi_user
GO

  • EMERGENCY mode marks the SQL database as READ_ONLY, deactivates logging and grants authorization only to the system administrator.
  • This method is able to fix the technical problems and restore the database to an accessible state. The database automatically exits the EMERGENCY STOP mode.

Method 2: Mark SQL database in Emergency Mode, Disconnect the main Database and re-attach it

  • Execute these queries to fix SQL database in recovery pending state without DBCC CHECKDB:

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET EMERGENCY;
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] set multi_user
EXEC sp_detach_db ‘[DBName]’
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @DBName = ‘[DBName]’, @physname = N'[mdf path]’

These commands will help the server retrieve a corruption-free log and automatically create a new one.

How to Prevent Recovery Pending SQL Server State?

Get Decent Power Backup – Do not let the power shut down causing the SQL server to collapse. Therefore, always be ready with a power backup to avoid such situations. It is not the solution for all the causes but it does avoid data file corruption whenever the database connection gets interrupted in between a  running query. To avoid this problem from its very root, simply make arrangements for dual power sources.

24×7 SQL Server Monitoring – Users must monitor their SQL server constantly. If not possible, at least frequent checks must be taken into account for sure. Always take care of the issues like low space in the disk or memory maximization. His way, both the physical environment gets protected as well as the recovery state can be prevented.

Frequent Data Backups – Make sure that you back up your database on a frequent basis. To ease the work, decide a particular time in a day or week that is only dedicated for backup, monitoring, etc maintenance tasks. Also, do test your database for disasters to know how prepared your SQL Server is to handle unwanted sudden issues. It keeps users one step ahead at all times.

Final Words

In this blog, we have provided a quick guide on how to deal with SQL Database in Recovery Pending State. Here we explained the step-by-step solution to fix SQL Server recovery pending state with DBCC CHECKDB or without DBCC CHECKDB commands. In addition, such tools can solve other issues as well like resolving SQL server error 26 & much more. We also shared a better approach to fix all SQL database errors and recover corrupt SQL database files within a minimum possible time.

FAQs

Q-1. Why does SQL Server States Recovery Pending?

Ans: Whenever the required backup is blocked due to some reason, the SQL Server shows this message. This can happen when the database awaits for the backup or the lock in the target database gets disabled.

Q-2. What’s the major reason SQL Server goes into recovery mode?

Ans: There are three primary reasons for the SQL Server to go into recovery mode. These reasons are:

  • Corruption in the SQL MDF or LDF data files.
  • Ongoing transactions in between the server crash.
  • LDF file reaching the maximum configuration limit.

Q-3. Is the automated method good for Recovery Pending SQL Server?

Ans: Yes, the automated method is the best option for users to get rid of all the errors as well as the technicalities. It works smoothly & performs the task much faster.

Q-4. What is the reason for suspect mode?

Ans: Whenever the primary file group catches any issue in it, the database shows the suspect mode. In this case, users can not use the SSMS to resolve the issue.

No other solution can match the level of this smart tool for getting the SQL server out of the pending recovery state as it has advanced algorithms & AI technology. My experience with this is quite smooth & better than all other solutions that I tried before. I ain’t going to switch now. You may also try it & I’m sure you won’t regret it.
