How Do You Clear Tables Of All Data?

Feb 28, 2006

What is the best way to empty out a table to reset its identity field back to 1?

I was going to do "Generate SQL Script" for all the tables I wanted to reset and then drop and re-create each table. Is there a better way to empty out all of your tables?

Clear Data Out Of Multiple Tables.

Mar 14, 2007

I need to load a database with new data, from an existing parallelsystem, but the database schema has changed and I did not make a script to do the changes. Sure wish I had. So, now I would like to copy the data from the existing parallel system into the new SQL database that has the correct schema. I have built the new database from the existing changed database. Now I would like to know if there is an easy way to clear the data out of all the tables, then copy all the data from the old schema into the new schema's tables.Thanks!Vic

How To Clear Or Reset A Microsoft SQL Database?

Sep 30, 2006

I'm writing a web application that saves data to a Microsoft SQL database.  As I build my application, I continually dirty my database with test data and refine my data schema.  Is there a tool that can quickly remove all of the data from 4 of my 5 tables?  Right now I'm using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express to open each table and manually deleting the rows of data and it's a pain in the ass.  Playing around with the Management Express, I was able to generate a create SQL script (I'm afraid to test it though) that looks like it will rebuild my table.  The problem is, one of my tables is a list (index?) of types...and I'd need that data saved
ebuilt each time...but I cannot figure out how to tell SQL that the rows in this table needs to be rebuilt (and is not really data per say).How do you guys "clear" or reset your database during development?-=STZ=-

SQL 2012 :: When Does Database Clear Buffer Cache

Sep 28, 2015

We are troubleshooting a performance problem and the test result is slow the 1st time but the subsequent runs are faster.. Logging out of application and log back in ( connecting to a new database session) did not clear the buffer cache as I thought it would.. When does the database clear the buffer cache? Is it not per database session?

I can issue CHECKPOINT and then run DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS to clear the buffers in the disk. But since we are testing from the application,do we need to run these commands via application code to clear buffer/per database session OR can we run these commands from a management studio session?

Still Not Clear

Jul 23, 2005

hi thank you for this solution Hugo (dutch?) and it's very handy, thankyou but my issue is that we created dozens of views with my function.This functions returns an integer of a date. This function has to give alowerlimit and higherlimit back when dates are out of Calendar range.But i want to read this from the Calendartable ONCE and store it in aglobal variable somewhere in SQL Server. I DON'T want to referencetables in my function. SO read once the lower- and upperlimit and usethis variable/property for referencing in my function!!GreetzHennie*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hello guys!

I would like to clear the logfile. Could anybody tell me how to do this?
What I would like most would be to run SQL-Server without any log-file (while development). But I suppose that this is not possible.

Can I Export Tables So That Existing Tables In Destination Database Will Be Modified?

Jul 20, 2005

I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

Log Dump Does Not Clear Log Space

Oct 25, 2000

When I backup a my transaction log and then run DBCC SQLPERF(logspace) the log shows 12% space used. The backup was run at night long after any transactions had been executed so there should be no active transactions. In SQL 6.5 you could run DBCC CHECKTABLE(syslogs) to clear up the usage inaccuracy is there a similar command in 7.0 to fix the space usage inaccuracy?

Can I Have SQL Server Clear A Value After A Certain Amount Of Time?

Apr 5, 2004

I have an application that allows users to "reserve" a certain time and location for practice sessions. I want them to look at a web form that shows which times are available and then allows them to select an open slot and then submit this form with some personal information. My problem is that as soon as they select an open slot, other users should see that this slot is no longer available. On the other hand, if someone selects an open slot and then takes too long to type in their personal information, I want it somehow to kick them out and re-open this slot back up.

I know that I can create a field called 'status' in my database that gets turn to something like 'pending' as soon as the first user clicks on an open slot, but how would I turn this field back to the 'open' state if the user took too long to enter their data?

Any help would be surely appreciated.

Cheers,
AzF
