Before changing database schema I issue:
ALTER DATABASE SET RESTRICTED_USER
On completion:
ALTER DATABASE SET MULTI_USER
I understand that a running transaction will be permitted to continue until completion.
Q: Is there any way to wait till all regular users are off the database?
Q: Can the regular users issue more transactions? Can they continue working until disconnected from the server?
From SQL Server Books Online
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa933082(SQL.80).aspx
So SET RESTRICTED_USER will wait until all transactions have completed before taking affect.
Once in place, regular users cannot issue further transactions, only members of the db_owner fixed database role and dbcreator and sysadmin fixed server roles can connect to the database.
