How to force a drop of MSSQL Server database. Ask Question 4. I am trying to delete an MSSQL Server database, however I am having no luck. Not even 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (Administrator)' is connected to it. When you delete it in SSMS there's a checkbox that reads 'Close existing connections'. This checkbox is not.

I have never experienced or heard this before. And I wasunable to reproduce - when I ran the code above, spwho2 reported theconnection to be runnable in the master DB.Again, using the 'Management Studio', by right clicking the DatabaseName and choosing to 'Delete', two check boxes can be selected and thelatter is 'Close existing Connections' and it never failed to delete.Under the hood, Management Studio uses the ALTER DATABASE command Isuggested, with the ROLLBACKIMMEDIATE option. This is easy to verify:make a DB, open some windows in MS to connect to this test DB, thenright-click the DB, click 'Delete', check 'Close existing connections',then instead of clicking 'OK', click 'Script / Script to Clipboard'.Finally, paste the contents of the clipboard in a query window or in atext file. Here's what was generated on my computer:EXEC msdb.dbo.spdeletedatabasebackuphistory @databasename = N'Temp'GOUSE masterGOALTER DATABASE Temp SET SINGLEUSER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATEGOUSE masterGO/. Object: Database Temp Script Date: 00:53:16./DROP DATABASE TempGOI have used the suggestion of usning both 'ALTER DATABASE SETSINGLEUSER WITH ROLLBACKIMMEDIATE' and 'ALTER DATABASE SETSINGLEUSER' but it's the same.What does 'the same' mean? Do you get any error messages?
If so, whatmessages?What happpens if you open a query window in SSMS, then type (or copy)and execute the query below (replacing MyDB twice! with the actualname of the DB you want to drop).
If you get any errors, please copy andpaste the exact messages into a reply to this message (unless you'rerunning a localized Cyrillic or similar installation - in that case, atranslation is actually preferred )USE mastergoALTER DATABASE MyDB SET SINGLEUSER WITH ROLLBACKIMMEDIATEgoDROP DATABASE MyDBgoOf course, you should replace MyDB with the real name of your database(two times!)Erland suggestion recommnds stoping theentire server which i can't afford since there are other databasesrunning.Erland though you were asking how to force connection to the SERVER tobe broken. For dropping a database, it suffices to break the connectionto the database. I know Erland well enough to be 100% sure that he'dnever recommend shutting down a server to drop connections to a DB.-Hugo Kornelis, SQL Server MVP.
