Hi All:

I need to make my database unavailable when i am loading the db. This
happens daily and the db is not connected to any online app, to make
the app unavailable. It is queried thru an Access and hence available
all the time.
The load happens daily for an hour in the morning.
Is there anyway to make it inaccessible to users while loading data
and then make it accessible

Thank you
RS

The process that runs the load could issue ALTER DATABASE SET SINGLE_USER
when it starts and ALTER DATABASE SET MULTI_USER when it's done. You may
be interested in adding WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE to the single-user command.

See Books Online for details.
