DB upgrade procedure

avatar

Right now I've only got a handful of users so any upgrades to the DB are easy. With more and more users starting to use RDM, how would I handle upgrades to the DB?

Per the help, I would need to be the only user connected but I'm certain some users would forget and leave the RDM open or forget and try to open it during an upgrade.

Is there some SQL script where I could kill all connections and prevent new ones to a specific DB except for mine?

For users who don't upgrade their client, I assume the upgraded DB would still work for them (or should I simply set the minimum version to force them to update on next connection?)

Thank you

You should only have one database upgrade to do if all your client are connected to same database. I sure you can find a SQL Server script in google to disconnect all the users.

For the other request about the version, you can specify a minimal version of RDM and restrict access to those who has not upgraded:
