killing a process with a variable

I wish to kill all the processes for a given database.
have written the script that gives me all the spids for the database,
however I get an error when trying to execute;
KILL @.spid;
(Incorrect syntax near @.spid)
where @.spid is declared as a smallint.
Can anybody help?
TIA
Hi
You can't pass a variable. You need to create dynamic sql to execute that:
DECLARE @.exstring VARCHAR(20)
SELECT @.exstring = 'KILL ' + @.spid
executesql @.exstring

|||Hi Dan - I think this works.
DECLARE @.i INT
DECLARE @.strSQL NVARCHAR(255)
SET @.i = 73
SET @.strSQL = 'KILL ' + CAST(@.i AS CHAR (2))
--PRINT @.strSQL
EXEC sp_executesql @.strSQL

|||Hi,
If your Sql server version is 2000 then go for ALTER Database command rather
than KILL command.
ALTER Database <dbname> set single_user with rollback immediate
The above command will remove all the connected users to that database
immediately. After the activity u can change the db the multiuser.
ALTER Database <dbname> set multi_user
Thanks

I wrote the following script and tested it:
Use master
go
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @.strSQL varchar(255)
PRINT 'Killing Users'
PRINT '--'
CREATE table #tmpUsers(
spid int,
eid int,
status varchar(30),
loginname varchar(50),
hostname varchar(50),
blk int,
dbname varchar(50),
cmd varchar(30))
INSERT INTO #tmpUsers EXEC SP_WHO
DECLARE LoginCursor CURSOR
READ_ONLY
FOR SELECT spid, dbname FROM #tmpUsers WHERE dbname = 'YOUR DATABASE NAME
HERE'
DECLARE @.spid varchar(10)
DECLARE @.dbname2 varchar(40)
OPEN LoginCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM LoginCursor INTO @.spid, @.dbname2
WHILE (@.@.fetch_status <> -1)
BEGIN
IF (@.@.fetch_status <> -2)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Killing ' + @.spid
SET @.strSQL = 'KILL ' + @.spid
EXEC (@.strSQL)
END
FETCH NEXT FROM LoginCursor INTO @.spid, @.dbname2
END
CLOSE LoginCursor
DEALLOCATE LoginCursor
DROP table #tmpUsers
PRINT 'Done'
go
Just replace 'YOUR DATABASE NAME HERE' with your database name.
