Katmai bug: SSMS doesn’t drop database locks when leaving the context of a database

USE master;
GO

CREATE DATABASE MySSMSTest;
GO

USE MySSMSTest;
GO

CREATE TABLE test (c1 INT);
GO

USE master;
GO

DROP DATABASE MySSMSTest;
GO

And you’ll see:

Msg 3702, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
Cannot drop database “MySSMSTest” because it is currently in use.

It works perfectly in SQLCMD in the same CTP, and also in SQL Server 2005. You can work around this by doing something like:

ALTER DATABASE MySSMSTest SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

Not exactly ideal – but, hey, it’s only a CTP. This has already been reported in Connect as issue 320135 – I added a workaround.

I’ll post any further bugs that I find here as well as making sure they’re on Connect.
