• SQL Server Database recovery freezing server?

  I'm currently running Windows Server 2003 and just recently installed SQL 2005. I had a few databases that I was attaching from the old SQL 2000 server. I encountered a hard error and when I restarted Management studio, I found 4 of my databases were in recovery.

They are the same data sources in SSIS and SSAS projects, just do a View Code on them for each project, they are the same XSD ...Show All
