    This works easier for me. The only reason to kill all the spids usually anyway is to put the database into another mode besides multi_user. 😀

    I just do this:

    ALTER DATABASE dbname

    SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

    GO

    ALTER DATABASE dbname

    SET MULTI_USER

    GO

    In theory touch screens may suck the life out of batteries. In practice, the IPad can get 10 hours and none of my laptops have ever been able to...

  • RE: Toys V. Tools

    First off, children are not allowed in my office room at my home, period. But with that said, I think toys and tools are interchangeable. For example, my Corvette is...
