Studio management 2014
This is becoming insanely frustrating and completely random. We cannot work anymore on the SQL because any small action we do will lock SSMS and will force us to end task.
In the middle of the work a popup appears: "SSMS is waiting for an operation to complete. bla bla bla" with two options: SWITCH TO and CONTINUE WAITING.
None of them does anything, not clear which operation is it talking about.
This happens when trying to open a table, a view or even pasting into a query window. When typing the query manually it doesn't happen!
Ending task and reopening the SMSS will immediately result in the same.
We tried to:
Restart SQL server
Right clicking in the taskbar (Someone suggested that)
Using SSMS from another network computer
Running select * from sys.sysprocesses where blocked<>0. there were no results.
Because of point 3 we assume that the problem is not in the SSMS, but in the SQL instance?
Last time it was resolved by itself, the next time I connected after a day.
Please help, we wasted hours here.
Thanks
I think that ending task of RDPclip on the remote computer solved the issue.
I will see when this happens again if doing it resolving it.
I'm new to using SQL server and had queries saved in OneDrive. When I tried accessing them I got the same pop up and had to end the OneDrive task in task manager. I just save everything locally now.

Once I thought it would be a great idea to set this field to the database I am working mostly with. I was wrong. Since this database is dropped and restored rather often, each time I am forced to reconnect after the drop.
I have found some recommendations, like setting this value via sql command, but nothing works.
Reset All every time is not option cause I am not thinking about it so much and this is annoying too.
Does anyone know where this value is stored to try to unset it: master DB, registry, some file?
Why does MS add a feature to change something without possibility to reset it back? (rhetoric)
Edit:
Have uninstalled SQL Server, though a lot of crap remained in the system:
Uninstalled all of them, installed SQL Server from scratch, this issue remains...
I believe if you select the database and press delete, that clears it down. Connect, then next time it should go back to default. At least it does on SSMS2017 - haven't got older versions installed to check.
OK
Found a solution.
Needed to rename/delete file:
C:\Users\(USER)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\12.0\SqlStudio.bin

Every now and then, I'll get the following message on my screen when running something large in SSMS: An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
The issue is, that once this error gets thrown, there seems to be no respite other than a reboot of the machine. I understand that this is an issue with memory on my machine and that this doesn't affect the server at all; however, rebooting in the middle of the day for a dev is never pleasant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Since I came up with the original "Comment" answer... Here it is.
Closing SSMS should terminate the transaction and free up memory.
Glad this worked out for you.
I encountered this today when trying to get an execution plan for a troublesome query then SSMS became completely non responsive for me.
Was able to work around this by opening sqlcmd, finding the problem query with sp_who2 then killing it.
At this point I was able to access other tabs I had open in SSMS and copy a couple that had not been saved to a notepad. Of course, when I tried to do anything else Windows said that SSMS was not responsive and gave me the option to force close it or debug.
This worked for me:
Deleting Temp file present on %temp% location. If the problem still happens restart SSMS.
This happened due to unused temp files.
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following error:
MsiGetProductInfo failed to retrieve ProductVersion for package with Product Code = '{DF167CE3-60E7-44EA-99EC-2507C51F37AE}'. Error code: 1605..
What I've done so far:
Had to re-install Windows 7 because I kept getting a pop up that said my windows was unregistered, which it wasn't (known bug) so I re-installed as per MS recommendation.
Un-installed SQL Server 2008 + ran Microsoft Fix It tool.
Tried to re-install.
After I got the error I deleted all the registry entries per instructions available where others have posted this same problem.
When I continued to get the error I renamed the registry directory UpgradeCodes to UpgradeCodes.old.
I've rebooted after every step and I've repeated this many times...
In all cases when I try to re-install it fails with Error code: 1605. At this point when I search the registry for the reversed key it is not found. It's gone.
Not sure what to do next.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
I have the same problem and following method which I got it from http://www.thewindowsclub.com/ worked for me:
Method 2
This method is a little risky but should work at the first attempt. Make sure you don’t reboot the system until we complete the process. In this method we will just make the UpgradeCodes unusable until we finish the SQL install.
First setup is exit the install and shutdown all the applications
Then go toregistry and create a backup of the registry.
Now go to HKEY_Classes_Root\Installer\UpgradeCodes.
Right click on UpgradeCodes and click on Export and type in UC.reg and save it somewhere (Maybe Desktop)
Then right click again and click on rename and rename to UpgradeCodes.old
Now attempt to install SQL again. This time it should work in first try. Make sure you don’t reboot the system because sometime other application like MS Office might stop working. Once the installation is complete, close the installer and find the file you saved UC.reg and double click on it and click OK.
Now we have up the UpgradeCodes back again.
I backed up my database table's and entire schema into .sql script using Visual Studio's Database Publishing Wizard.
I then tried to re-create those tables on another PC, not before re-creating the database itself, with the same exact name and everything (using a script that I created via SSMS's Script Database as).
I then open that tables .sql file using SSMS and execute it.
SSMS reports:
Command(s) completed successfully
But examining Object Explorer reveals that no tables were created.
Why is this happening?
What have I missed?
I've just been having the exact same problem symptoms also using Visual Studio's Database Publishing Wizard, - but with a slightly different cause / fix.
Even though SQL Server Management Studio says it is connected to the correct database (in the drop down in the ribbon, and in the status bar of the window), it wasn't actually connected to anything.
To identify and fix either:
SELECT DB_NAME() AS DataBaseName
If you get
master
(or any other unexpected database name) as the result, then you are connected to the wrong database and should select the correct DB from the dropdown. This was the cause of your problem.
If you get
Command(s) completed successfully
then somehow you aren't connected at all - this happened to me.
To fix, click the "change connection" button to disconnect and reconnect.
Check whether you have selected database. Most of the times we execute query in Master db by mistake.
-- Mark as answered if this answer really answered your question
Check if you are running "Execute" or jut Parsing the code. It was a late night, I was tired, and kept running a query to create a table, successfully, but no new table. The next day with a clear mind i noticed that i was not actually running the query, i was parsing it.
Vista just finished one of its many updates. After restarting my computer I try connecting to SqlServer2008 instance with Sql Server Management Studio and I get this error:
Error connecting to '...\MSSQLSERVER2008'.
Additional information:
Login failed for user '...'. Reason: Server is in script upgrade mode. Only administrator can connect at this time. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18401).
Pressing help gets me to an internet page saying there's no additional information.
Thx Vista & Updates. Anyone an idea because on the internet I can't find anything about this issue.
It appears This Guy was having the same problems as you and his only suggestion was to wait a few minutes before trying to log in again.
I have yet to see any type of Microsoft documentation about this, nor have I seen any forum posts which came to any sort of resolution concerning the same problem.
Check your event viewer. I had the same problem and found that (in my case) it was looking for a directory that didn't exist to perform an upgrade script. NO hint that there was any sort of problem in the dialog, but the event viewer showed clearly what the problem was.

I had the same problem. Waiting until update was done did not help. Solution was, (after checking Windows eventlog) to set the folder rights. SQL-Express had no rights on the database folder, why ever. Something has mixed up the rights during the upgrade from WinXP to Win 7. That was it.
Adding a comment to this page since this is the top Google result for "script upgrade mode". It seems that a number of things can cause a SQL Server DB to go into this mode. In our shop we've run into these two cases in the past months:
Log shipping - Can't recall at what point of the process exactly the DB went into this mode, iirc it was when bringing it back up. The solution was just to wait it out.
Hard drive full - The DB went into this mode when it ran out of space. We're currently clearing up the drive, will come back with an update if waking it up turns out to be challenging.
Update: After freeing up disk space, it was a simple matter of setting the DB "Offline" and then "Online" to bring it back up.
We had the same issue, but needed to know what was going on in the background.
The db's were put into recovery mode, hence they had to recover. To assist we went to the SQL Server error log located where the system files (normally master, model, msdb...) are located, but under the log folder. In the ERRORLOG, we did a find on the word recovery and could watch the db's percentage recovered. Everything recovered normally, but it was much longer than expected.
The Reason for this is that the system reboot happens with important\necesssary softwares loaded and does all other operation later so that the booting happens faster.
Here in your case, the sql booting is happening as the start of SQL is not needed for system to start. I hope you are aware of DAC account(Dedicated Administrator Connection, Link) who has seperate connectivity and has ability to resolve issues even the whole SQL server is not responing. The SQL server is asking you either to wait or open the SQL with DAC account and stop the SQL update.
Solutions:
1) Wait until backround update completes
2) Open SQL using DAC account and kill all running processes
