Set Database Back To Multi User From Single User
Feb 27, 2008I am using SharePoint Services 3.0 (SP1) with default configuration options, which installs the Microsoft##SSEE instance of SQL to my local C: drive.
While attempting to relocate the files to another drive, I set one of the databases (as recommended) to Single User by using the SQL Server Management Express tool.
I cannot now reset that database to Multi User, even by executing the query
exec sp_dboption 'database_name', 'single user', ''FALSE'
again by using the Management Express Tool.
Can someone please help, in plain english???? Thanks
Single-User Vs. Multi-User SQL Server
Jun 21, 2004I have written a VB/SQL Server based application. The application uses stored procs and the SQL Server security model to handle logins and permissions. My partner and I want to sell the applicaiton to specific businesses and offer a rental program for smaller companies that would like to use the application to connect to an internet based database. The application uses TCP/IP with a specific port number to connect to the database so it can be used in or out of LAN.
If we rent the application, maintenance is simple. I just create a user in the database with the login/password the user would like and viola they have access to the data.
When a company wants to purchase the program to use in-house, we would like to offer two alternatives: #1 a single user or #2 a multiple user SQL Server database.
My question is if a company purchases the single-user version, how can we keep them from adding users to their database. In other words, since we have no control over the database at the client's location, how can we ensure that it remains a single-user database?
Thanks for any help!

Mar 21, 2001I tried to run the SQL in single user mode by executing sqlservr.exe -m.
The execution starts in a DOS window but apparently stops at one point. The SQL Server will run in single user mode but when i tried to restore the master db, the restoration process stops and the SQL server stops. Is there any process I left out? I think the execution of single user mode is incomplete. Please help.
Actually, I found exactly the same problem was posted year ago, but there was no solution.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

SQL 6.5 And Single User Problem
May 26, 2000I use SQL 6.5 and Service Pack 5a NT4 with a CLuster and Raid.
One DB (DB1) is in SIngle User and Read Only Modus. If I use the Enterprise Manager to máke a new Login and/or to change the rights of another DB, I get the message, that DB1 is in single user Mode:
Error 924: ... DB is in Single User MOde....
The same message was sent, if I use I-SQL and ask DB1 with a DBCC or SP ():
dbcc checkdb (db1):
Nachr.-Nr. 924, Schweregrad 14, Status 1
Database 'DBPLW02' is already open and can only have one user at a time.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, see your System Administrator.
or with sp_dboption dbplw02, offline, true:
Nachr.-Nr. 5160, Schweregrad 16, Status 1
Cannot take 'dbplw02' offline because usecount=1.
Nachr.-Nr. 15245, Schweregrad 16, Status 1
'DBCC DBCONTROL' error. Database not placed offline.
I canīt change the DB1 in multi user mode and I canīt find the person who has opened DB1 because I get every time this message.
Technet only tells problems with the Enterprise Manager and not with EM and I-SQL!
Who can help?

Mar 1, 2005I'm trying to restore the master database. I can't seem to start the SQL Server in single user mode.
Through the command prompt
1. net stop MSSQL$AIMS
2. C:Program FilesMS SQL ServerMSSQL$AIMSBinnsqlservr.exe -c -m
It runs saying that it's in single user mode etc etc.
When i open enterprise manager and try to restore the database, it comes up in a prompt saying i need to put it in single user mode
Single User Mode
Jul 24, 2007I have been trying with no success to start my SQL Server in single user mode and login.
Here's the scenario:
I've got a one node cluster with SQL Server 2000 installed. I changed the startup parameters of SQL Server to reflect the following:
-c
-f
-m
I have disabled SQL Server Agent so it doesn't start when I bring SQL Server online. But when I do bring SQL Server online, I'm not able to connect at all. I keep getting the "only one administrator can log on at one time".
There is no one else trying to log on and SQL Agent is disabled.
What is the scoop? Has anyone seen this? And if so, how did you address it? I'm trying to restore master and need to get this donesooner rather than later.
Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedSingle User Mode / DAC
May 2, 2008I know it's completely not advised, but I have to do this: I need to make some updates to a system table. In short, I have some databases that were secondary databases in a log shipping scenario. I needed to recover those, so now they're not in STANDBY. All I want to do is reset those back to STANDBY so I don't have to completely start from scratch. One of the databases is 500GB and I do not feel like having to wait for another full restore of that database.
I have DAC enabled on the server in question. Whenever I try to connect, it says DAC is NOT enabled. Wrong!!! When I run this query:
Code Snippetsp_configure 'remote admin connections', 1;GORECONFIGURE;GO The first statement runs fine. It says to RUN RECONFIGURE. I run reconfigure. I then get an error saying ad-hoc updates to system catalogs are not accepted. Huh?????? So I start the SQL Server in Single User Mode. I closed every single connection. Nothing else is trying to connect. When I try to connect to the instance via SSMS using ADMIN:<instance name>, I get an error saying I can't connect because only one adminstrator is allowed to connect while in single user mode. I do not get what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is going on! I'm set up as a sysadmin on this box... I don't get it...

Single User Mode Error - Help!
Jul 18, 2000Ever since installing SQL service pack2 I've run into a very strange error.
Just about every day, 1 or more databases just switch themselves into Single-User Mode. Since these databases form the back-end of websites, this is obviously a serious problem. No-one can get in. I've checked out the MS knowledge base, and books online, but I can't find a thing about this behavior.
Has anybody else run into this? - Does anybody know where I could begin to look to trace this error down? Its been going on for more than a week and I'm still at square one.
Any help would be apppreciated.

Going Into Single User Mode For No Reason?
Feb 19, 2001Dear All,
I have some user databases that go into single user mode
for no apparent reason. Is there any reason that SQL
Server 7 would set a database in single user mode
by itself? NB They are not being set single user by anyone
else here, they would not know how.
Many Thanks in Advance,
Andrew
Checkdb In Single User Mode
Jan 19, 1999Hello All,
I been reading that DBCC checkdb should be run in single user mode. While microsoft says to run DBCC checkalloc in single user mode. Does running checkdb in single user mode matter, and should I be running checkdb in single user mode?

Automating Single User Mode
Mar 29, 1999In order to automate regular maintenance on SQL Server (6.5 SP3) I'm trying
to automate the process of putting the database into single user mode without
having to stop/start the process.
The sp_dboption won't allow single user mode while users are still connected
to the database, so I was trying the following script:
DECLARE @to_kill int
/* Declare Cursor */
DECLARE spid_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT spid FROM sysprocesses WHERE dbid = 6
/* Open Cursor */
OPEN spid_cursor
/* Loop Through All Table Names */
FETCH NEXT FROM spid_cursor INTO @to_kill
WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
IF (@@fetch_status <> -2)
BEGIN
KILL @to_kill
END
FETCH NEXT FROM spid_cursor INTO @to_kill
END
This, however gives a sytax error for the KILL command (it seems that KILL
will not allow a parameter to be passed). I've tried making the @to_kill
variable smallint, int, and varchar without any success.
Is there any automated way way to kill user connections without cycling
the server?
Thanks

Stuck In Single-user Mode
Dec 2, 1998I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Then when I tried to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responded with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. The answer (apparently) is to move tempdb into RAM, but when I tried to do that, I got an error message saying I couldn't unless I was in single-user mode. So I put it in single-user mode, and now I can't get to the server at all through the Enterprise Manager because an error message pops up saying "A connection could not be established to SERVER3 - [SQL Server]. Database 'tempdb' is already open and can only have one user at a time."
So now I'm really stuck. There are no other connections or users accessing the database. How can I get back in? No command-line switches seem to make any difference (-c, -f).

Jul 27, 2007I get an error in my ASP.Net application which states:
"The server will drop the connection, because the client driver has sent multiple requests while the session is in single-user mode. This error occurs when a client sends a request to reset the connection while there are batches still running in the session, or when the client sends a request while the session is resetting a connection. Please contact the client driver vendor."
I checked out the database properties, it shows that SQL is set for 'MultiUser' mode. What else do I need to check and how can I fix this?

Database Stuck In Single User Mode
Apr 21, 2008I have a database that got set into single user mode. Unsure the reason or who might opened it. I am trying to reset it, but I am having problems. I am trying the following from http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/alter-single-user-multi-user-mode.aspx to kill the connections. So I can then switch it back to multiple users.
DECLARE @DatabaseName nvarchar(50)DECLARE @SPId intSET @DatabaseName = N'Works'DECLARE my_cursor CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR SELECT SPId FROM MASTER..SysProcesses WHERE DBId = DB_ID(@DatabaseName) AND SPId <> @@SPIdOPEN my_cursor FETCH NEXT FROM my_cursor INTO @SPIdWHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0BEGINKILL @SPIdFETCH NEXT FROM my_cursor INTO @SPIdENDCLOSE my_cursor DEALLOCATE my_cursor
Which gives me the following error message when ran.

Database Setting Itself To Single User Mode
Mar 19, 2001Our company has several SQL Server 7 databases. One of them has now on two occassions, set itself to 'Single User' mode. I am completely baffled as to what can be causing it.
There's no jobs set up to do it.
There's no stored procedures programmed to do it.
The SQL Server Log shows that a DBCC CHECKDB ran at 18:00:37.73 and that users attempted to and couldn't log in from 18:01:01.95 onwards.
There is a maintenance plan set to run every two hours that does a backup, integrity checks, so it fired the CHECKDB.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.
Starting The Server In Single User Mode

SQL Server 7 In Single-User Mode After Backup?
Sep 13, 2000Hi:
This question came to me from a friend and I don't have a lot of details so I apologize in advance. I thought it might be worth a shot to ask here since I couldn't find anything on point in the MS help or KB. A SQL Server 7 database running on an NT 4.0 box is having a full database backup nightly. The backup routine is pretty standard, created using the Maintenance Wizard. It backs up two databases on the server. The problem is that when folks come into work in the AM, the databases are in Single-User mode and someone has to go in and change this. Is this normal behavior? My (admittedly limited) understanding of SQL 7 backups is that they are relatively transparent, and Single User mode is not necessary. You can operate normally other than you can't to any unlogged txn's while the backup is running. They have not done anything explicit to put the databases in Single-user mode when the backup begins. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? (Or how to automate the switch out of Single-user mode when the backup is completed?)
Thanks!
