"Database '%.*ls' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server error log for details."
Cause:
The root cause of such erroneous situation is that the database could not be mounted because some files or resources are missing. Another cause of such situation is that the database is corrupt, thereby disabling you to mount it.
Resolution:
To resolve this problem, you should repair the MDF file. To do this, you need to perform the following methods:
Check the error log: You should check the error log to get the details about the resources such as memory, disk space, permission failure, etc that may have caused the problem to occur.
Confirm the location of MDF/LDF files: You should check the location of the MDF/LDF files and verify whether the Database Engine account has the required credentials to access these files.
Restart the database: Finally, you should restart the database using the ALTER DATABASE query. This query sets the database to online mode.
