Dropping Primary, Clustered Key Via T-SQL
Apr 9, 2003I'm changing the collation sequence of a field which is a primary, clustered key field via:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[clusterAlgorithm] WITH NOCHECK ADD
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ClusterAlgorithmClassName]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Is there a way to drop the primary key designation before doing an alter table/alter column statement and then recreating the key, or must I drop and recreate the table?
Thanks,
Al
Rda Dropping Primary Key Index
May 2, 2007I am using RDA to download a tables
I use TrackingOffWithIndexes
the issue is that when I download a small set of data the primary key index is there
when I download a larger set. the index gets dropped (no error) just slowness when querying the table
the max database size is set to 1024mb and the temp database size is set to 1024mb
the actual db size (with the missing index) is 262 mb... lot's of room left!
when I try to create the index manually after the download in sql server management studio I get this error:
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation
I am using 2GB sd cards and nothing else is on the card.
any ideas?

Dropping Primary And Foreign Keys
Jun 22, 2001I am having trouble dropping constraints(Primary and Foreign Keys). I would like to do so so I can truncate the tables and repopulate them. Any time I use the DROP CONSTRAINT #### on one table, I get an error message saying this is referenced in another table. Any help in how to drop the keys so I can truncate the tables in a database would be appreciated. I must be overlooking something simple. Thanks for the help.

Dropping An Auto Numbered Primary Key And Add A New One

as the new primary key and which should be a autonumber too.
any idea.

Dropping Clustered Index Associated With Primary Key.
Aug 24, 2007Hi all,
I have a huge table with million of rows, which has ONE Clustered index associated with the PRIMARY KEY, and there are some NON_Clustered indexes.
So,now i decided that, i dont need any more indexes ( not even one) on that table, but i need to maintain primary key on that table.
(a) So, how can i accomplish this (i.e.) having primay key but not having indexes on the table.
Thanks.
DB Engine :: Dropping A Primary Key Constraint - 35 Minutes And Counting
Apr 4, 2011I have a copy of this database table and the first thing I noticed was that the Primary Key was pretty much useless and there were no sensible indexes. Every query hitting this table ended up table scanning.So I thought I would try dropping the existing Primary Key constraint and then creating a more natural key that would make data retrieval quicker (hopefully). I understand that creating a clustered index on this table is going to take a long time as ALL the data will need to be reorganised (I estimate this will take at least 1 hour). However, just dropping the existing Primary Key constraint is taking forever.I can see that the server is doing a lot of disk reading/ writing and the wait type in Activity Monitor is PAGEIOLATCH_EX.I would have thought that just dropping a primary key would not change the data in the table, just delete the associated index.

Oct 2, 2015I am trying to drop a primary key on column LID and then create a clustered index on a new identity column ID and then add the primary key back on the LID. I am not able to do so due the table being in replication. here is the error:

How do I get past the error and create the Clustered Index on ID column in both publisher and subscriber?

Dropping Tables
May 28, 2002Is there a way we can prevent a object owner from dropping his tables. Example:
There is a user called 'tom' who is given create table permissions, 'tom' creates the table completes his dev and then the table is moved into production where 'tom' is still the owner. However, in production, 'tom' does not have the create table privs. Because 'tom' is the owner of the table, he is still able to drop the table in production. This is what I am trying to avoid. I would like to retain 'tom' as the owner and want to take away his create/drop privs.

Dropping All Indexes
Jan 3, 2007Looking for suggestions.
I have a database that is giving me a bad Index error. When I go to drop the necessary Index it is telling me that it either does not exist or cannot be dropped. However when I try to build that index, it tells me one already exists.
Is there any way to drop all of the indexes or at the very least see what the indexes are? This particular database is using 2005 Express.
Any help would be great!

Dropping Constraints
Oct 15, 2007How to remove the constraints on a table in sql server 2000? I need to drop the column, so i need to drop the constraint before that.
Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
Any ideas?

Trigger Dropping
Apr 12, 2006Hi:
I think I am doing something wrong. I am trying to make the trigger fire when I want to drop the same trigger. For example I have the following trigger defined:
USE AdventureWorks2000
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Incheckstock
ON DATABASE
FOR DROP_TRIGGER
AS
PRINT 'You must disable Trigger "Incheckstock" to drop Trigger!'
ROLLBACK
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
ENABLE TRIGGER Incheckstock ON DATABASE
DROP TRIGGER Incheckstock
ON DATABASE
I created the trigger Incheckstock and i want to see if the same trigger fires itself if when i am trying to drop the trigger with the same name (kind of recursive one). Is this possible in SQL 2005?. If I asked a dumb question, please correct me.
Thanks

when I retrive the data to edit the profile it returns the correct

are okay. Any help appreaciated
Dropping Excel Sheet
May 14, 2002I guess nobodys heard of this? I'm using DTS to transform data to Excel spreadsheet. I have a DROP TABLE `data$` then a CREATE TABLE `data$` the old data is cleared but the new data is appended to the blank rows of the old data. So if I had 5 rows before now I have 10. And the new data has 5 blank rows before it.
I've tried deleting the excel file & replacing it with a new one.
I've used the wizard thinking it was me but no good, it still happens.

Dropping SQL Server Connections

I am running a query to return some rows to Access, but once I have returned the rows, I want to drop the linked table connection to SQL Server, because it is locking a table on the server. I think I need to write a bit of VBA code, but I don`t know where to start. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
