ALTER DATABASE {DB} SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;
GO

DROP DATABASE {DB}
GO

USE Master;
GO
DROP DATABASE MobileMetrics;
GO

Thanks for tip, it does work for me to alter to single user than drop.

Thanks,
Jay

SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(sqlConnectionString);
sqlConn.Open();
SqlCommand sqlDBCheck = new SqlCommand(“USE Master”, sqlConn);
sqlDBCheck.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlDBCheck = new SqlCommand(“ALTER DATABASE SM_Test_03 SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE”, sqlConn);
sqlDBCheck.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlDBCheck = new SqlCommand(“IF EXISTS(select * from sys.databases where name = ‘SM_Test_03′) DROP DATABASE SM_Test_03″, sqlConn);
sqlDBCheck.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlConn.Close();

Your blog post was really useful, and I ended up mixing a couple of the solutions given by you all (especially Jim Sz & anand). This one gave results to me, but it still seems to be some kind of timeout that must happen since last USE master command, before this one takes on. But it is much better than going out and in everytime. So here is the script:

ALTER DATABASE dbName
SET SINGLE_USER
WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

USE master

DECLARE @dbid INT
SELECT @dbid = dbid FROM sys.sysdatabases WHERE name = ‘dbName’

IF EXISTS (SELECT spid FROM sys.sysprocesses WHERE dbid = @dbid)
BEGIN
RAISERROR (‘The restore cannot be done’, 16, 1)
SELECT ‘These processes are blocking the restore from occurring’ AS Note, spid, last_batch, status, hostname, loginame FROM sys.sysprocesses WHERE dbid = @dbid
END

DROP DATABASE dbName

Do an sp_who and make a note of all the spids associated with the DB you want to drop.

Then I created a script to kill the spids and immediatly drop the DB:

kill 58;
go
kill 57;
go

USE Master;
GO
DROP DATABASE AdventureWorks;
GO

Your solution works for me. Thanks a lot.

I want to drop this database but not table to do it, can any one help me

If you are still getting the error after you try using
use master
go
drop database (databaseName)
go

Close SQL Server Management Studio completely. Open it again and connect as normal. Now you will be able to drop the database with
use master
go
drop database (databaseName)
go
