hi,

i need to run an update script against a database but i want to
be sure there are no other users connected to it.

1. how can i check if there are other users connected ?
2. once i have warned the users about database shutdown,
how can i connect to the database in exclusive mode so
no one else can get a connection during the update ?

this checking and the connection will be established from a
Delphi/Kylix application using TSQLConnection

regards,

leicke
