I am using the following command in my MSBuild file to drop a database
sqlcmd -E -S <ServerName> -Q "DROP DATABASE <DBName>"
But sometimes I get the error
Cannot drop database because it is currently in use.
What command should I use so that the DB is dropped even if it is in use?
To kill all connections to your database. See Kill All Active Connections To A Database
Now issue your DROP DATABASE command after the above procedure.
