在Informix之下设定独占性的资料库比较简单，主要就是以下指令

DATABASE database-name EXCLUSIVE
以下FUNCTION是Informix 开启独占资料库的方式
'************************************************************
'DbNmae 待开启的资料库
'UserID User ID
'PassWD User Password
'ExclusiveMode True表示以独占方式开启
'ErrDescription 如果开启过程有错，传回错误描述
'传回值:一个ADBDB.Connection物件，有错时传回Nothing
'*************************************************************
Public Function OpenConnection(ByVal DbName As String, ByVal UserID As String, _
ByVal PassWD As String, ByVal ExclusiveMode, ErrDescription As String) As ADODB.Connection
Dim curConn As New ADODB.Connection, connstr As String
curConn.Provider = "MSDASQL"
connstr = "UID=" + UserID + ";PWD=" + PassWD + ";Database=" + DbName
connstr = connstr + _
";Driver={OpenLink Generic 32 Bit Driver};" _
+ "Host=192.168.0.61;" _
+ ";FetchBufferSize=30" _
+ ";NoLoginBox=Yes" _
+ ";Options=" _
+ ";Protocol=TCP/IP" _
+ ";ReadOnly=No" _
+ ";ServerOptions=" _
+ ";ServerType=Informix 7.2"

curConn.ConnectionString = connstr
On Error GoTo errh:
curConn.Open
If ExclusiveMode Then
curConn.Execute "DATABASE " + DbName + " EXCLUSIVE"
End If
ErrDescription = ""
Set OpenConnection = curConn
Exit Function
errh:
If curConn.State = adStateOpen Then
curConn.Close
End If
ErrDescription = Err.Description
Set curConn = Nothing
End Function

使用方式

Set cn = OpenConnection("cwwpf@eis", "cww", "jjh5612", True, Errstr)
If cn Is Nothing Then
MsgBox Errstr
End If
而SQL Server就没有那样容易，我们知道有一个system stored procedure

SP_DBOPTION database-name, 'Single User', TRUE '设定Single User Mode
SP_DBOPTION database-name, 'Single User', FALSE '设定Multi User Mode

不过这里有许多点要注意：
1.必需是sa才有权
2.透过OLEDB Provider来做时不会成功(for SQL 6.5)
3.如下面的范例中，虽我们成功的设定了 Single User Mode，但不表示我们接下来
的建立连线会成功。说不定在设为单一使用者後，还来不及建立另外的连线时，就
有其他的Process先进入该资料库。
4.我曾经使用同一个Connection先将DataBase设为Single User Mode而後再以该Connection
来开启资料库，Open Recordset，但是有时会发生问题，因而没有Release出来

SetOK = SetSingleUserMode("cwwtest", False, Errstr)
If SetOK Then
Debug.Print "ok"
Else
MsgBox Errstr, vbCritical
End If
'********************************************************
'DbName :资料库名称
'SingleMode :是否设为Single User Mode
'ErrDescription :如果有错，传回错误讯息
