Error when Restoring a backup

Question

Why I always got this Error when Restoring a backup

"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use"

I try this but did'nt work:

use Master 
ALTER DATABASE yourdatabasename SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

I always have to close the ssms and open it again to restore backup. How I will avoid this error especially when I will use the backup/restore in my c# application? Do I have to change some properties of my database? I need this issue to resolve to avoid encountering it with the application which I am developing.

Answer 1

Check if you have any query tab connected to this specific database. If yes, you may choose another database from the dropdown instead of closing it.

Answer 2

Use SINGLE_USER.

ALTER DATABASE yourdatabasename SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
