SQL Database State stuck in Restoring

I was waiting for more than one hour to let the restoring process get finish and unfortunately nothing happened. 😦

So the resolution is to:

Execute the following command in any case if your database get stucked at the time of restoring:

RESTORE DATABASE [DATABASENAME] WITH RECOVERY;

Once i execute the above i was getting the following error:

Msg 3104, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE cannot operate on database ‘kiainternet01’ because it is configured for database mirroring. Use ALTER DATABASE to remove mirroring if you intend to restore the database.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

i didn’t aware the above database is configured for mirroring. So i had to switch off the mirroring temporarily using the following command:

ALTER DATABASE [DATABASENAME] SET PARTNER OFF;

upon that executed the following command:

RESTORE DATABASE [DATABASENAME] WITH RECOVERY;

finally the databases were online :
