Starting 7am to 8pm, our server is busy with daily works. 8pm to 12:30am it is doing integrity checks and optimization as well as backups.

A process had locked a table and therefore, we had problem the day after. It seemed that a user had left his/her computer without closing the application or even may had turned off the computer. What can I do as a DBA? Should I have a script that check the processes early in the morning for example 3:00am and kills all processes? What is a good decision?

Perhaps you should tell your programmers not to leave the connections open once they have retrieved the data they need...

Other than that, you could schedule a job to kill all user processes, there are some examples on this site I think...

Is it possible to set a time limit on idle connections? For example if a connection was idel for 2 hours, then disconnect that connection and release the reources. How harmfull it would be?
