Dropping Loading/Suspect database

Hi:
I restored a database from the backup. It is showing Loading/Suspect in
enterprise manager. How do I drop this database and try again. What could
have caused this? Please let me know.
Thanks
Sohail,
Have you tried the DROP DATABASE statement from Query Analyzer? Is this a
test box, if so and the former doesn't work, you might try KILLing the
process performing the RESTORE (if available).

|||Actually I do not have access to the clients machine. Will the mode field in
the following query tell me the spid.
SELECTmode, status, status2
FROM master..sysdatabases
WHERE name = 'XYZ'
Thanks

SPID column in sysprocess gives the processID. use the below query to get
the peocess id.
SELECT SPID,cmd FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE name = 'XYZ'
After getting the SPID use the KILL statement to kill the old restore
process
KILL SPID
Thanks

SPID and CMD fields do not exist in master..sysdatabases table. Is this the
right table?
