While writing a Powershell script for a SQL Server checkout procedure after a reboot , I needed to query the SQL Server database to find the Database Status. Use state_desc column in sys.databases view to report on the database status.
The descriptions , courtesy of BOL are:
ONLINE - Database is available for access
RESTORING – One or more files are being restored
RECOVERING – Database is being recovered
RECOVERY_PENDING - SQL Server has encountered a resource-related error during recovery
SUSPECT - At least the primary filegroup is database suspect and may be damaged
EMERGENCY - User has changed the database and set the status to EMERGENCY
OFFLINE – Database is unavailable
SELECT name, state_desc as Database_status FROM sys.databases
