Disallow connection for a second or two

Hi
Is it possible to prevent users of a database in SQL Server 2005 from
doing anything for a second or two.
Can this be done using a stored procedure.
thanks
NewishYou can put the database into readonly mode. In the proc do a
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks SET READ_ONLY

Would this scenario work. Use a stored procedure to issue this
command. Then the same procedure writes a couple of pieces of info to
a table and then revoke this statement.
Hence, during the readonly state will the stored procedure be able to
write.
How do you revert back to read and write status.
thanks once again.
