ALTER DATABASE DBI SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK_IMMEDIATE

move data and log file to different location
run following T-sql

ALTER DATABASE DB1 MODIFY FILE(NAME=db1_DATA,FILENAME = D:\SQL SERVER

\DB1_DATA.MDF);
ALTER DATABASE DB1 MODIFY FILE(NAME=db1_LOG,FILENAME = D:\SQL SERVER \DB1_LOG.LDF);
ALTER DATABASE DB1 SET ONLINE

0) ALTER DATABASE TESTDB2 SET EMERGENCY

1) ALTER DATABASE TestDB2 REBUILD LOG ON
(NAME=TestDB2_Log,FILENAME='D:\SQLLog\TestDB2_Log.ldf')
2) dbcc checkdb (testdb2)
3) ALTER DATABASE TESTDB2 ONLINE
4) ALTER DATABASE testdb2 SET MULTI_USER

for tranaction log viewing...........

DBCC LOG(<databasename >, <type of output>)

<type of output>

0: Return only the minimum of information for each operation -- the operation, its
context and the transaction ID. (Default)
1: As 0, but also retrieve any flags and the log record length.
2: As 1, but also retrieve the object name, index name, page ID and slot ID.
3: Full informational dump of each operation.
4: As 3 but includes a hex dump of the current transaction log row.

select * from fn_dblog (null,null) ..

EXAMPLE:
SELECT * FROM::fn_dblog(NULL, NULL)
WHERE operation = 'LOP_DELETE_SPLIT'

For index....
use database
exec sp_help tabalename

I'l like to get the DBs status on a Server. Means, I need to know what are the DBs
are being used,
what are not being & if any are in use, I need to know when it was used last time
and how frequently
its been used in the past several month.

select s.database_id as database_id

,db.name as database_name
,max(s.last_user_scan) as last_user_scan
from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats as s
join sys.databases as db
on db.database_id = s.database_id
group by s.database_id,db.name
order by db.name asc

You can get block processes by executing SP_LOCK or SP_LOCKDETAIL.

you can't roll back anything rather killing the process from Management Module.

select *
from fn_trace_gettable('c:\MyTraceFile.trc', default)

Difference between Index Rebuild and Index Reorganize Explained View(s): 3754
What is difference between rebuild and reorganize the indexes in SQL Server 2005?
When should i go for rebuild the index and when should i go for reorganize the
index?
Answer 1)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Index Rebuild: This process drops the existing Index and Recreates the index.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
ALTER INDEX ALL ON Production.Product REBUILD
GO

Index Reorganize: This process physically reorganizes the leaf nodes of the index.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
ALTER INDEX ALL ON Production.Product REORGANIZE
GO

You need to check the fragmentation (using DBCC showcontig) for indices to decide
what to go for rebuild or reorganize.

Recommendation: Index should be rebuild when index fragmentation is great than 40%.
Index should be reorganized when index fragmentation is between 10% to 40%. Index
rebuilding process uses more CPU and it locks the database resources.

USE [WSS_ApplicationUsage]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [WSS_ApplicationUsage] SET RECOVERY SIMPLE WITH NO_WAIT
DBCC SHRINKFILE(N'WSS_ApplicationUsage_log', 1)
ALTER DATABASE [WSS_ApplicationUsage] SET RECOVERY FULL WITH NO_WAIT

GO

If the database is online and begin to restore the database after backup BACKUP
LOG [database_name] TO [backup_device] WITH NORECOVERY
-- If the database is offline, and log file may be damaged BACKUP LOG
[database_name] TO [backup_device] WITH CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR
