Hi there,

I'm new to this forum but was wondering if you could advise me on getting the DB back to an accessible state. I tried restoring the DB but unfortunately I don't have enough disk space. The error message appeared instantly informing me of the lack of disk space. Now it says its in (Loading state) and I cannot access the DB. Is there anyway I can manually change it back??

Run 'restore database db_name with recovery', but don't think the db is usable. Find bigger disk and restore it there.

You'll have to issue a DROP DATABASE as the restore failed to complete. I doubt you'll even be able to bring it online with a recovery restore at this point.
