Quite interesting. It's a neat way to leave the database.

Gail suggested this to me a few days ago. I now think it is preferable to

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabaseName SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

which I currently use (before restoring the DB)

and much better than

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabaseName SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

which I used to use, but had the risk that someone other than me might grab the single user connection!

Good tip, thanks!

Nice question; but it's a command I hope I never have to use; another is

BACKUP LOG <database> TO <device> WITH STANDBY = <file>.

Interesting question about I never used thru T-SQL.

I discovered the WITH NORECOVERY when I tested how to backup with SMO ( there is an option which permits to visualize the T-SQL code generated thru a SMO application without executing it : useful to test it )
