    Users can be an interesting bunch after all

    Amen.

    I was going to do it via a for loop in the app, merely KILLing all session ids that are not the current user's and that are connected to the target database. However, is there a better way?

    The correct syntax is:

    -- Kick everyone out, rolling back

    -- their transactions if necessary

    ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks

    SET SINGLE_USER

    WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

    --

    -- Do admin stuff

    --

    -- Restore access to the database

    ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks

    SET MULTI_USER;

    Notice the lack of an underscore between ROLLBACK and IMMEDIATE 🙂
