Hi i have a school project where you build a website in asp and use mdb databases to drive the site. The site is on the school server and seems like one of my teammates left a connection open to the DB

So basically DB is fucked and we can't access the site, nor delete the database.ldm and databsae.mdb

Do you guys know of a way to remote kill all connections to a database?

Reboot the server

Don't think we can do that, don't have admin on it, just a folder along with fellow students

You might try Stop/Start on the web server process using the IIS manager. If you area an ASP application the connection would be from IIS to Access and not the individual users.

thanks but i undfortunately don't have this kind of access. unless i can telnet in my dir and reset something...

Of course can't delete anything thru ftp either

Can you connect to the DB, but get an error back about it being open?

If so, send a badly formatted query to the DB - depending on how you connect it can break the former connectionand allow access.

People run servers on Windows?!

If you're designing everything how MS tells you it's meant to be
done then you should be able to just kill the component if running
in MTS.

If you're not doing it by the book then you can restart IIS or
reboot.

Not many options on windows.... It's shit.... No one in their right
mind uses it.... If you want a slow shitty website filled with bugs
that require you to get up in the middle of the night to reboot the
server then use windows. btw This is coming from a long time
windows programmer and owner of both Debian and Windows
servers.

Learn Perl and PHP.
