I have a Database,Which is in Single user mode ,If i want to access a tables in the database i will be changing in the properties from single to multiuser.How can i make the Database multi user permenantly?.
ALTER DATABASE [MyDB] SET MULTI_USER
If it throws an error like user is already connected to it, select 'master' db in the dropdown and try it that way.
If that doesn't do it, use sp_who to find what spid is accessing the DB and kill it.
If you want to do it in SSMS object explorer.
Right click on your database.
Go to properties > options.
Scroll to the bottom and find "Restrict Access" and change it to multi_user.
Click ok.
Just an alternative to query window. Both do the same the same.
Other solution.
I have the same error as you, I have tried all the ways but it doesn't work. Manually below I have restored to the original state of the database.
Step 1: Stop Sql Server Services
Step 2: Cut Data and Log file to other folder.
Step 3: Start Sql Server Services again.
Step 4: In SQL Studio Management -> Delete error database.
Step 5: Stop Sql Server Services and Copy Data to old folder.
Step 6: Attach again and auto change from single user to multi user
This solution test on Sql Server 2017 by me.

I have been using DBeaver as a replacement for SQL Server Management Studio, and I am loving it. The only thing I cannot figure out is how to associate a script with a database. For example, in SSMS I can right click a database (let's call it A) in the object explorer and click "New Query" (or ctrl+n) to open a script that is active within database A. If I open another script in a different database (B), that script is associated with the database B. When I switch back to the original script, I am back to working with database A without having to manually select from the database list or executing a USE statement. Obviously, switching back to the second script will make database B active again.
Unfortunately, in DBeaver, there appears to be only one active database for all scripts. Is there a way to set this up in DBeaver to act like SSMS in this manner?
Edit: DBeaver refers to individual databases as catalog/schema. That is what I am trying to associate with individual scripts.
I am using DBeaver community and i have using with multiple DB's. You have to just select Data base from drop down to change DB, it is for current script that open .
i current not have my company system connected , find one sample image from internet .
I don't know that DBeaver has this capability, but you could always Preface your scripts with the USE DBNAME statement...
UPDATE
Version 6.3.1 (2019-12-22) now supports this by default! Here is the first note of the description for 6.3.1:
SQL editor:
Active database/schema change now affects current editor only
Note: This does seem to have changed some behavior such as "Set active" from the database navigator as well as the "Auto-sync xx with navigator." These two used to take affect to the active database/schema. Now they are tied to the current connection.
Original Answer
For anyone who finds this in the future, I did find a work around that provides the desired behavior. The answer is to use projects. Unfortunately, this means creating a duplicate connection to the server.
There is also another catch here. If you want to set a schema for a specific script, you should avoid setting the schema via the "Database Navigator." This will, however, work if you want to change the schema for a script that is already in the active project. If the script is not in the active project, and you set an active schema through the Database Navigator, it will change the active schema for all open scripts associated with that server. To keep it simple, I try to avoid the Database Navigator all together.
All is not lost by avoiding the Database Navigator. By default, the "Projects" window is a tab right next to the Database Navigator. If you expand (click the + next to the name) [Project Name] -> Connections -> [Connection Name], you will have your list of databases/schema right there. Use this as your new Database Navigator and you are all set.
I accidentally dropped SQL Server database connection in SQL Server Management Studio. After i dropped the Connection and pushed "OK" the database was put into single user mode and then the database was taken offline and not shown in the object-explorer.
Is there any Point to rettach the database? I dont find any .BAK Datas or the Databasename in the Restore Options.
I tryed already, but get errors
USE master;
GO
ALTER DATABASE MyDB SET MULTI_USER
GO
I hope there is something i can do. Thx
EDIT:
Steps i did right Click on the Database -> Task -> Detach , than i was in the following Windows and clicked on "Drop Conections" and clicked "OK" and than she went into single user mode and went offline. But after a refresh i didnt saw her in my object Explorer. I followed this steps:
Getting exclusive access to restore SQL Server databases
so any way to get into single user mode to get her back?
See if any *.mdf files exist in file system for the dropped database. If you find, restore.
Is it possible to copy a database to a new server? I just want to have the database on a new server because I need to make some tests. I didn't have much experience with servers.
Follow this steps :
Run your SSMS
Right click on the database you want to copy
In the Popup menu , go to Taches , then click Offline
Right click on the Database again in the popup menu , Taches -> Detach
Open the folder ..\MSSQL\DATA , copy Yourdb.MDF and YourDB_log.LDF files to the folder of the new Instance.
Now you can Attach both Databases and work on it in both instance.
Another way:
Run Your SSMS
Right click on the Database you want to copy
In the popup menu , Taches -> Copy the database...
Follow the steps on the Wizard
You can select option if you want to keep the database ONLINE when it is being copied.
You can also select option of MOVE or COPY database as well.
When the process is over it will show the success message and database will be copied to another server.
Note:
1- The Copy Database Wizard is not available in the Express edition.
2- The Copy Database Wizard cannot be used to copy or move databases that are/have:
System.
marked for replication.
marked Inaccessible, Loading, Offline, Recovering, Suspect, or in Emergency Mode.
data or log files stored in Microsoft Azure storage.
Also , a database cannot be moved or copied to an earlier version of SQL Server.
Updtae:
If there is no Copy database option , then you can Copy Databases with Backup and Restore.
For more information about it MSDN.
No experience? No problem, backup the database.
Copy it into the target machine.
Restore DB from device >> open the DB backup file.
At this point you have the entire DB without missing any schema objects such as foreign keys.
Finally delete all sql logins that the DB came with and recreate them manually as you test access.
Once you are comfortable with this operation you can go ahead and get more experience using some of the techniques describe above which are recommended if you have a large DB to restore and so on.
How to restore the DB on SQL Server Management Studio
Steps:
1. On “Object Explorer” panel right-click on “Databases” and selected Restore Database
Select “Device” and browse database location.
note: Copy the .bak file locally before restoring.
The DB information will auto-populate the window, you can edit the name of the DB to be restored.
Go to the “Files” page and check the “Relocated all files…” box.
Select existing folder locations for Data and Log files.
HIT OK
I just now joined my first job (two days ago) and I am using Microsoft sql server management studio express version here. I want to create a new database by copying data, indexes and all properties from production database(We don't have a QA database) so that I can practice on it. How can I do that. I tried by taking backup of prod db and importing it into new database but it didn't worked and I got this error:
.
I am using Express version so no copy database option.
This might be a possible duplicate of this question: ssms copy database but I am using express version.
Can somebody tell me how can I do this.
Thanks
This is not hard to do in SSMS when working with SQLEXPRESS databases. I just executed these steps myself to verify that it works.
Create a full backup of the database you want to duplicate. To do this, right click on the database you want to duplicate, select Tasks, then Back Up .... Accept the defaults (or alter them if you wish) and click the "OK" button.
Now we will restore this backup to a new database. In SSMS, right click on the Databases folder icon. Choose Restore Database .... In the To database: text box, give your new database a name. I used "test". The name should not duplicate the name of any existing database. In the From database: dropdown, select the backup you created in Step 1. Click the "OK" button.
You should now have a copy of your original database, and it is named "test". To see it you may need to right click on the Databases folder icon and choose Refresh.
Hope it helps. Good luck!
I was trying to detach the DB when it gave me an error that it is currently in use. Hence, I tried to take my DB offline but it failed saying
'an exception occured while executing a transact SQL statement or batch
-> ALTER DATABASE failed because a lock could not be placed on database 'myDB'. Try again later.
ALTER DATABASE statement failed. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5061)'
Now if I try and access the DB it says it is not accessible. What can I do to make my DB accessible again?
My aim was to detach the DB, relocate its secondary database file to a new drive and reattach it (simply because of space issues).
Try following steps.
Restart the SQL server service using services.msc console.
Now connect to your server using SQL Server Management Studio.
Run following command in query analyzer
ALTER DATABASE `YOURDATABASE_NAME`
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
Now Right-click the database name, point to Tasks, and then click Detach. The Detach Database dialog box appears
OR
5. Run your command to Relocate the secondary database.
Set the database mode to multi user again
ALTER DATABASE `YOURDATABASE_NAME` SET MULTI_USER
Hope this helps.
As an alternative to step one in Furqan's answer, you might not need to restart the SQL Server instance, but only the SQL Server Management Studio instance, which was used to initiate the "Take Offline" task.
