c# - Cannot drop database because it is currently in use

Question

I want to drop a database. I have used the following code, but to no avail.

public void DropDataBase(string DBName,SqlConnection scon)
{
    try
    {
        SqlConnection.ClearAllPools();
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("ALTER DATABASE " + DBName + "     SET SINGLE_USER     WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE", scon);
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
        scon.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        scon.Close();

        SqlCommand cmddrpdb = new SqlCommand("drop database " + DBName + "", scon);
        cmddrpdb.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
        scon.Open();
        cmddrpdb.ExecuteNonQuery();
        scon.Close();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("DropDataBase : " +ex.Message);
    }
}

I am getting Error as cannot drop database because it is currently in use. Please help me out in the above mentioned issue.

Answer 1

before dropping a database, you drop the connection to that database first.

I have found a solution at http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/kill-all-processes-of-a-database.aspx

DECLARE @DatabaseName nvarchar(50)
SET @DatabaseName = N'YOUR_DABASE_NAME'

DECLARE @SQL varchar(max)

SELECT @SQL = COALESCE(@SQL,'') + 'Kill ' + Convert(varchar, SPId) + ';'
FROM MASTER..SysProcesses
WHERE DBId = DB_ID(@DatabaseName) AND SPId <> @@SPId

--SELECT @SQL 
EXEC(@SQL)
