KillDatabase Method
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The KillDatabase method drops a database from the referenced Microsoft SQL Server installation, regardless of the status or availability of the database.

Remarks
