The error came when trying to install a hotfix/patch to the sharepoint server. The issue had occurred because there was an old copy of the database which was used for detach and attach. Had tried to create a new webapplication using a copy of the running webapplication in the same farm. It encountered error since there was a DB id conflict in the configuration DB. So deleted the web application, but the content DB had not been deleted completely. So ran the stsadm delete old database command to remove it Stsadm -o sync -deleteolddatabases 0 More about deleteolddatabase -
