Posted by Jugal Shah on February 15, 2010

Why anyone needs to take the database offline?
1. May be user don’t want to use database for time being
2. To restore the database which is used by multiple users. Yes you can restore the database eventhough it is offline

EXEC sp_dboption N'DBName', N'offline', N'true'

OR

ALTER DATABASE [DBName] SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
