Question : How to clear all the connections before restoring a database

hi,

I have a job in sql server 2000, where i created a backup of a database save in a particular location and then restore the backup file to another database in the same server.

But here, if the destination database have any active connection, then the job fails from restoring the database, so what i do is select the destination database, right click and then select detach database and then click on the clear button (connections using this database:).

so please help me how to clear the database connections using a query that i can run in the job before of restoring.
