Annotations for "DATABASEPROPERTY (Transact-SQL)" topic. Sat, 27 Dec 2014 00:37:52 Z Brett Rogers Definition for IsShutdown Is Incorrect I'm 99.9% sure that the definition for IsShutdown is incorrect. It doesn't make any sense given the property's name. From what I can gather, the proper really relates to the IsAutoClose property, which will cause the database to shut down if no connections are active. If Auto Close shuts down the database, then the IsShutdown property gets set to True. Once the database spins up again due to an active connection, IsShutdown gets set to false.
