Im trying to enable the Service Broker for Sql Server 2005 because I want to be able to use a SqlDependency object.

I ran the following query to see if my local sql server service broker was enabled:
SELECT is_broker_enabled FROM sys.databases WHERE name = dbname;

It came back with a value of 0 (which means it is not enabled).

I tried executing the following sql command to enable it:
ALTER DATABASE dbname SET ENABLE_BROKER;

The query has been running for over 5 mins and just keeps spinning (should it take this long to enable the Service brfoker), so I cancel it.

I even try to issue the command to see if the service broker is enabled after I cancel the query and it is not enabled.

How can I properly enable the Service Broker?
