Sometimes in SQL you need to delete some rows, delete a Table or the DB. But what if a user is still connected to it. The solution is simple, kill all the sessions on that DB with a simple script:

USE master
 SET NOCOUNT ON
 DECLARE @DBName varchar(50)
 DECLARE @spidstr varchar(8000)
 DECLARE @ConnKilled smallint
 SET @ConnKilled=0
 SET @spidstr = ''
 Set @DBName = 'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME'

IF db_id(@DBName) < 4
 BEGIN
 PRINT 'Connections to system databases cannot be killed'
 RETURN
 END

SELECT @spidstr=coalesce(@spidstr,',' )+'kill '+convert(varchar, spid)+ '; '
 FROM master..sysprocesses WHERE dbid=db_id(@DBName)

IF LEN(@spidstr) > 0
 BEGIN
 EXEC(@spidstr)
 SELECT @ConnKilled = COUNT(1)
 FROM master..sysprocesses WHERE dbid=db_id(@DBName)
 END

 

For MySQL, you could try this:

select concat('KILL ',id,';') from information_schema.processlist;

KILL PROCESS_ID
