Many people, especially those managing finance systems, use these steps first because they can fix MS SQL Error 945 if the database isn\u2019t badly damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Method 1: Check Disk Space &amp; File Permissions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot of the time, SQL Server doesn\u2019t load the database simply because it doesn\u2019t have enough room or can\u2019t reach the files.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by looking at the drive where your database sits. If it\u2019s almost full, clear out junk files or move some large items somewhere else.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the storage is still tight, you may need to plug in or assign a bigger drive for the SQL files.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, check whether SQL Server has permission:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Right-click<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the MDF, NDF, or LDF file.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open <\/span><strong>Properties -&gt; Security<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and allow the SQL Server service account full access.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve changed the permissions, open <\/span><strong>SQL Server Configuration Manager<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and restart the SQL service.

Use <\/span><strong>Attach Database<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in SSMS and load your MDF file manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Then, bring the database online with the command:<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ALTER DATABASE [DBNAME] SET ONLINE;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.
