Hi!
I write scripts to generate my database, I want my scripts to run from command line using SQLCMD and (at the same time) use SSMS to edit the scripts and some times run them there. This creates a problem when dropping databases. Databases will not be dropped while they have open connections.
The solution is easy; here goes:
ALTER DATABASE x SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
In a sample:
PRINT ‘Recreate database…’
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sys.databases WHERE name=’
Some_DB’)
BEGIN
ALTER DATABASE Some_DB SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
DROP DATABASE Some_DB
END
GO
CREATE DATABASE Some_DB
GO
