WSS error while adding DB

Rajkiran Swain

While adding backup database in SharePoint site using STSADM command , i am getting an error .

"Databases must be empty before they can be used. Delete all of the tables, stored procedures and other objects or use a different database."

Database : Sql Server 2000

SharePoint : WSS 3.0

If i am adding fresh database, then it's working fine .

Please any idea ?

Hi Rajkiran,
By default "TestWebParts." may be installed.

Find these webparts and remove them from the pages, then the webpart gallery, and remove the solution.
Because TestWebParts shouldn't make it to production.
