How do you drop an in use database in Azure Sql Managed Instance?

Question

When we ran Sql Server in a virtual machine we were able to use the following sql to drop in use databases.

use master
ALTER DATABASE [TargetDatabase] set single_user with rollback immediate;
Drop database [TargetDatabase]

According to the Managed Instance Documentation and our testing set single_user is not supported. Is there an alternative way to drop in use databases?

Answer 1

I would recommend doing it using powershell. That is more efficient and goes through checks
