Is there a way you can find out how many conneections to a database there may be before running (for example) a restore procedure to warn that it wil fail?

Why bother when you can easily disconnect them with this:
ALTER DATABASE DBNameGoes SET READ_ONLY WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO

RESTORE...
GO

And yes to see connections, you can run sp_who or sp_who2.

But isn't that what you intend to do when you perform a restore? Why let it fail when their is a solution?
