I am sure this is the way it has to be…

I used the above snippet to figure out why I was unable to drop my table.. looks like the ‘sa’ account is using it in background….

(status = background and loginame = sa)

I’m using SQL Server Express 2008, in Windows Authentication mode, and I’m the only person using the database at the moment.

So I’m not sure where ‘sa’ is coming from…

I thought this would be cleaner and easier

SELECT ‘These processes are using database ‘ AS Note
,[Database]=DB_NAME(dbid), spid, last_batch,
status, hostname, loginame
FROM sys.sysprocesses
WHERE dbid = DB_ID(‘master’) — replace DB name here
