Procedure to forcibly disconnect users from a database
About
This stored procedure will take the name of a database and disconnect all the users from the database. Any pending transactions will be rolled back. Please use this function with caution.
The procedure creates a temporary table and stores the results of the sp_who system function in the temporary table. A cursor is created to select the SPID column from the temporary table where the dbname column is equal to the @database parameter submitted to the function. Dynamic SQL is generated to run the KILL statement for each SPID connected to the specified database. A check is made to ensure that the KILL statement is not run for the current user’s connection.
