Drop all Connections from a Database

On development servers, at times there is a need for dropping and renaming database(s). These scripts can be used for achieving these tasks. The usp_DropDB script will kill the connections to the database and then drop the database. It takes care of the space in the database name, if any and also makes sure that the database exists on the server.
