Define "db is started"?  Do you mean the SQL Server engine or a particular database?

<div>
I guess starting SQL server engine includes starting all the databases also..It would be great if you can tell me the way to check both. SQL Server Engine (i think here you check if MSSQLSERVER service is started) and particular DB.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
