Cause
Before an existing database can be restored, there should be no connections using the database. If the database is currently in use the RESTORE command fails with below error:

Resolution
To avoid this, we need to terminate all sessions which using the database. All sessions using the database can be obtained
by executing the system stored procedure sp_who2 or by querying the sys.dm_exec_sessions table as:
SELECT session_id
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions
WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = 'RestoringDatabaseName'You need to terminate each of the sessions returned individually by using KILL command.
If there are large number of sessions to terminate, or you need to do this on a routinely,this can be a lengthy and tedious process.
You can *automate* this using below script, which takes database name as input, and terminates all sessions connecting to it.
USE [master]
GO
DECLARE @dbName SYSNAME
DECLARE @sqlCmd VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @sqlCmd = ''
SET @dbName = 'RestoringDatabaseName' -- Change database name here
SELECT @sqlCmd = @sqlCmd + 'KILL ' + CAST(session_id AS VARCHAR) +
CHAR(13)
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions
WHERE DB_NAME(database_id) = @dbName
PRINT @sqlCmd
--Uncomment below line to kill
--EXEC (@sqlCmd)** see attachment containing the SQL script text
