Sharepoint 2010: 2 service application databases with the same name showing in Central Admin –> Manage Databases Upgrade Status
By peter.stilgoe
I had a strange problem where if I went into:
Central Admin –> Manage Databases Upgrade Status
in Sharepoint 2010 I had 2 Business Data Connectivity Service databases with the same name! The status of the one in use was ‘No action required’ & the rogue one had ‘Database is too old and upgrade is required’
There was only one database showing on the SQL server, the one in use, if you find you get 2 service application databases with the same name (somehow!?) the command to delete it is:
Stsadm -o deleteconfigurationobject -id b9b3e713-9e53-42ab-a634-a2c54e90a0d6
(replace the guid with the rogue database guid)
