/*
** - synopsis -
** Kills all connections active on a given database
**
** - business requirement -
** To perform certain operations on a database it is
** sometimes requisite that no active user connections
** exist on the database. This procedure discovers
** such connections and performs the necessary kills
**
** - syntax -
** @db - the name of the database for which to
** kill connections
** @pgm (optional) - if provided, allows filtering
** the connections killed by their 'program name'
**
** - marginalia -
** The procedure avoids killing the connection on which
** it was invoked, thus it is most convenient to make said
** invocation from any database other than the one meant
** to be killed.
**
** Additionally, the procedure avoids attempting to kill
** any process in the middle of a transaction rollback.
**
** Please do also note that clients that re-establish their
** connections may prove problematic (see TODO list below)
**
** - TODO -
** 1. set database to single user mode after connections
** have been killed and retry on failure
**
** - exempli gratia -
** To creata a snapshot for the PMQ/JM development environment:
**
** exec sp_create_snapshot 'te_3e_pmqjmdev'
**
** To display the commands needed to create a snapshot:
**
** exec sp_create_snapshot 'te_3e_pmqjmdev', @exec = 0
