While reading the newsgroups, I found a neat solution to share with my readers. If you have deleted content databases of a site collection but you are still getting an error similar to the following in error log
SQL Database ‘WSS_Content_345’ on SQL Server instance ‘DBS1’ not found.
It is because SharePoint config database still has a record of deleted database and trying to connect to it.
Solution:
Run the deletecontentdb stsadm command similar to the following :
stsadm -o deletecontentdb -url http://wss.company.com/sites/name1
-databasename WSS_Content_2
stsadm -o deletecontentdb -url http://wss.company.com/sites/name1
It will delete the old database entry from SharePoint Config database.
