db keeps reverting to single user access

  • I have a SQL 7 database which keeps reverting to single user mode. I find out when web site viewers inform me of errors, and then I see that in Enterprise Manager it becomes single user access. I have to keep changing it back.

    Is there any way to determine how this is happening? I don't think triggers work - books online gives no indication that they can be used for an alter database statement.

    Is it possible to write a script to notify me of the change, the user, and the time when the database was changed to single user?

    If this is not possible, could anyone suggest how I might be able to write a script to frequently check to see if the db is in single user mode?

    Much appreciated from a newbie

  • Check your maint plan. If you've set the option to repair any errors, it has to put the db in single user mode to do so and there was a bug in the plan where sometimes it would not correctly reset. Until fixed I had a job that ran afterwards to make sure no db was single user.
