Product Description
Occasionally a database administrator may need to set a Microsoft SQL Server database to ‘offline’, normally because he or she needs to cut external access to the database without wanting to detach or delete it.
Sometimes a problem arises when the user attempts to set the database offline and they receive the error below:
ALTER DATABASE failed because a lock could not be placed on database [database]. Try again later. ALTER DATABASE statement failed. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 5061)
This is an incredibly irritating problem and it’s hard to find a solution. Those who hunt will likely find a solution mentioning the following:
ALTER DATABASE database SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
This command will not help.
This PDF provides a guaranteed solution that will allow you to take your database offline and goes through in detail how you need to execute a stored procedure to diagnose the database and then perform a further stored procedure to prepare it for being taken offline.
