Brought down the Virtual Center services to perform a manual backup of the SQL Express database thru SQL Server Management Studio Express. When attempting to bring up the VC services, the VC service stops with error 2. The following error messages are in the VC log file:
Unable to recover from 42000:10011

Forcing shutdown of VMware VirtualCenter now
The SQL Express is installed on the same server with Virtual Center. Just installed the latest Virtual Center version 4.0.0 build 258672.
SQL ServerAccess denied.
That could be the reason. You have a permissions error.
Also SQL Express is limited, you should not install it on the same server as vCenter, and you should use a full version of SQL like Standard.
Have you found a solution to this, I'm having the same problem and it is not related to SQL permissions. I can manually run the select statement from the management studio using the same account that the vCenter Service uses and many previous data calls succeed.
Found that McAfee Host Intrustion Detection System was blocking SQL statements. Had to uninstall McAfee HIDS to get Virtual Center to work.

Thank you for that. We were just forced to install McAfee HBSS by our upper level security guys.
Sorry i think that you use a Oracle and remote DB.
