Restore via SQLDMO fails after ADO.NET access

Hi,

I have written an utility that makes a backup (via SQLDMO) of a SQL
Server database, then issues various ADO.NET Commands to this
database. In case of any error it restores the database from the
backup (also via SQLDMO).

Problem is, when I want to do the Restore after an Error, the Restore
fails with the following error message "Exclusive access could not be
obtained".
I have made sure that all ADO.NET Commands close their respective
connections (via the using statement) so what am I missing here?

If I don't issue any ADO.NET Commands the Restore works just fine.

Hello Stefan, What happens if you wait several minutes after the last connection is closed before using DMO? Perhaps it is a pooling
issue. Do you have a small sample that reproduces the problem you are seeing?

Yes, pooling seemed to have something to do with it.

I solved it by deactivating Pooling (added "Pooling=False" to Connection
string) and explicitly destroying all ADO.NET Connections after use (via
Dispose()).

It works perfectly now.

Thanks for replying.
