Backup/Restore Tran Log

Hello Experts,
This is my first time that I work with the logic of
Transaction Log Backups/Restores seriously.
--First I made a full backup, then I backup my log in a
file:
BACKUP LOG [TEST_3]
TO DISK = N'D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\BACKUP
TEST_3\LOG\TEST_3_2004-05-08_17-22.bak'
WITH INIT, NAME = N'TEST 3 backup', NOSKIP
--then I wanted to restore this log:
declare @.FilePosition as int
SELECT @.FilePosition = position
FROM msdb..backupset
WHERE database_name = 'TEST_3'
AND type != 'F'
AND backup_set_id = (SELECT MAX(backup_set_id)
FROM msdb..backupset
WHERE database_name
= 'TEST_3')
RESTORE LOG TEST_3
FROM DISK = N'D:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\BACKUP
TEST_3\LOG\TEST_3_2004-05-08_17-22.bak'
WITH FILE = @.FilePosition
Even though I don't have any other connection in my DB
the error message I get is:
Server: Msg 3101, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
Exclusive access could not be obtained because the
database is in use.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Can you please post a transaction backup/restore example?
Thanks in advance!Hi,
It seems there is some one connected to your database. Execute sp_who and
check the user connected to the database, either issue KILL SPID from the
query analyzer to kill the user connected or execute the below command just
before the restore:-
Alter database TEST_3 set single_user with rollback immediate
go
Restore command -- Execute
go
Alter database TEST_3 set multi_user
Thanks

I'll try to KILL SPIDs
