KillDatabase Method
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The KillDatabase method drops a database from the referenced Microsoft SQL Server installation, regardless of the status or availability of the database.
Syntax
object.KillDatabase(Database)
Parts

Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT KillDatabase(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR szDatabase);
Remarks
The Remove method of the Database object and Databases collection drops a referenced database. A database drop can fail if the database is offline. When the Remove method of the Databaseobject or Databases collection fails, use the KillDatabase method to force a drop of the database.
