| Are you asking for how to check if it's in use? When we know a database is not in use, we simply back it up one last time, save the backup to tape, and then drop the database. If I don't know if it's in use or not, I will run a trace or disable the logins and then wait. If I don't see any evidence of it being in use still, then I take it offline for a couple of weeks. After that, I then follow the same backup/tape/drop process as before.Does that help? If not, please let us know by making your issue more clear.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
