Hello!
We have a maintenance job on MSSQL server scheduled for the weekend.
some times we arrive at the beginning of a week and see that a user left
his screen open on a SQL record and the job is still waiting blocked by
that user. Please give me an idea how to overcome this.
Thanks in advance

Kill that user's process(es).

If you are running SQL 2000, you can terminate all connections to the
database with:

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

and resume normal operation with:

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase
SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

--
Hope this helps.

I'm going to jump in and say that while Dan's solution certainly works, I
think his reply and the other one missed what I think is the fundamental
problem: The application.

It appears that the application is creating some sort of lock on the DB that
lives as long as the screen is open.

This is inherently non-scalable.

I'd look much into HOW the application was able to hold a lock on the DB
like that and focus on that for the long-term solution.
