Kill all database connections

Just came across this script – very useful

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/*** CREATED BY AJITH DHARWAR                                                     ***/
/*** This procedure will accept a DB name and drop all connections to the DB.    ***/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_killDBConnections
    @DBName VARCHAR(50),
    @withmsg BIT = 1
AS 
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    DECLARE @spidstr VARCHAR(8000)
    DECLARE @ConnKilled SMALLINT
    SET @ConnKilled = 0
    SET @spidstr = ''
 
    IF DB_ID(@DBName) > 4 
        BEGIN
            PRINT 'Connections to system databases cannot be killed'
            RETURN
        END
 
    SELECT  @spidstr = COALESCE(@spidstr, ',') + 'kill ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, spid) + '; '
    FROM    master..sysprocesses
    WHERE   dbid = DB_ID(@DBName)
 
    IF LEN(@spidstr) &gt; 0 
        BEGIN
            EXEC ( @spidstr
                )
 
            SELECT  @ConnKilled = COUNT(1)
            FROM    master..sysprocesses
            WHERE   dbid = DB_ID(@DBName) 
 
        END
 
    IF @withmsg = 1 
        PRINT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @ConnKilled) + ' Connection(s) killed for DB ' + @DBName
GO

You can then use it like this

1	EXEC sp_msforeachdb 'EXEC usp_killDBConnections @DBName=''?'''

Or like this

1	EXEC usp_killDBConnections @DBName='MyDatabase'
