The option "%.*ls" conflicts with another requested option. The options cannot both be requested at the same time.

Error Message:
Msg 5062, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
The option “%.*ls” conflicts with another requested option. The options cannot both be requested at the same time.

Severity level:
16.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to use conflicting options in an ALTER DATABASE statement.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 16 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be executed this way. You need to remove one of the conflicting options.

Versions:
All versions of SQL Server.

Example(s):
USE MyExample
ALTER DATABASE MyExample
  SET SINGLE_USER, RESTRICTED_USER
GO
ALTER DATABASE MyExample
  SET ONLINE

Remarks:
In the above example we try use the conflicting SINGLE_USER and RESTRICTED_USER option in one statement. This raises the error.
