Restore Db

Hi ,
When I perform a restore transaction log on my server , I enounter an
issue saying that my db get lock and the restore transaction failed. How can
I set to no lock the database ? It is possible ? I am using the command below
to execute my restore log process. Actually what is the "with stanby" means ?
Am I doing the right command ? Please advise.
RESTORE LOG PDDIRECTLINK FROM disk = @.FileName with standby =
'C:\LaiDBBackup\Undo\Undo_PdDirectLink.dat'

You cannot have any connections in the database when you do RESTORE. This includes the connection
from where you run the RESTORE command.

No, you need to make sure that there are no users in the database.

It is documented in Books Online. Read about the RESTORE LOG command and you will find it.
