SQL server open connections exist in a database

If you get a “timeout connection in the database because there are no connections available in the connection pool” error, the following queries will help you diagnose the problem:

• To allow users to view current activity on the database:
  sp_who2
• To give you the total number of connections per database on a database server:
  SELECT DB_NAME(dbid) as 'Database Name',
  COUNT(dbid) as 'Total Connections'
  FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses WITH (nolock)
  WHERE dbid > 0
  GROUP BY dbid
• To get the dbid from database name
  SELECT DB_ID('MyDBName') as [Database ID]
• To give you the process Ids of existing connections in the database (not necessarily open but existing):
  SELECT spid
  FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses WITH (nolock)
  WHERE dbid = (SELECT DB_ID('MyDBName') as [Database ID])
• To give you information about the actual process id (replace 1018 with the spid):
  dbcc inputbuffer (1018)
• To kill a process
  kill 1018
