Performing a Batch Delete

hi,
use a batch DELETE, e.g. something like

DECLARE @batchSize INT
SET @batchSize = 10000

WHILE (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourTable WHERE yourCondition) > 0
BEGIN
  DELETE  FROM yourTable
  WHERE   primaryKey IN ( SELECT TOP ( @batchSize )
                                  primaryKey
                        FROM      yourTable
                        WHERE     yourCondition ) ;
END ;

of course using EXISTS is faster:
WHILE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM yourTable WHERE yourCondition)

Kill SQL Server database connections

USE master
go

DECLARE @dbname sysname
SET @dbname = 'yourdbname'

DECLARE @spid int
SELECT @spid = min(spid)
 from master.dbo.sysprocesses
 where dbid = db_id(@dbname)

WHILE @spid IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
EXECUTE ('KILL ' + @spid)
SELECT @spid = min(spid)
FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses
WHERE dbid = db_id(@dbname)
 AND spid > @spid
END

SELECT a.name, b.type, DATEDIFF(MINUTE,b.backup_start_date , b.backup_finish_date),

LEFT OUTER JOIN msdb..backupset b ON a.name = b.database_name
WHERE DATEPART(DW,b.backup_start_date) IN (6, 7)
AND b.type NOT IN ( 'L', 'I')

What language uses .do extension?

No, No, No! The .do extension is strictly for JavaServer Pages using the struts framework.

Go to www.sun.com or to apache.org to find out more about JSP and Struts.
