I am trying to delete tables from data where the ModifiedDates older than 9 years in AdventureWorks2012 database . I get console notified that foreign keys are dropped but the delete statement is throwing errors. I am sure that somewhere the key constraints are not getting altered, but i'm not able to figure it out as i'm a relative beginner to T-SQL. The error and code:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_SalesOrderHeaderSalesReason_SalesReason_SalesReasonID". The conflict
occurred in database "AdventureWorks2012", table "Sales.SalesOrderHeader
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | Out-Null
$option_drop = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ScriptingOptions;
$option_drop.ScriptDrops = $true;

I don't know if the question has been nailed down. Aside from deleting tables, can we delete the *content* of data within the tables. It doesn't seem crazy that, if you can pull in data from a feed then you should be able to remove the content out again (without also destroying the user's meta-data work ). Reasons for this include:
- Security (a user may not have rights to see *my* data and should go refresh their own)
- Size (workbook doesn't need to have GB's of irrelevant data saved to disk in a workbook if it was just useful during development phase to a pre-production data feed)
- Bad data (pre-production data feed is not good data)
- User-friendliness (data feed was refreshed 2 years ago and workbook was saved to file server. Users shouldn't be presented with irrelevant data, but should get empty pivot tables until they go do their refresh)
Obviously Excel internally knows how to clear out PowerPivot data, given the prompt shown here: [URL] ....
But how does a user initiate this on their own (corruption aside)?
Previous time this question was asked, without a real resolution: [URL] ....
We are running SQL Server 2005 express on Windows 2003. The database server gets significant amounts of data.
Because of the 4GB data limit we have a daily cron task which goes through and deletes data older then 90 days.
We would like a way to archive this data instead of deleting it. Is there any way to take data and compress it and store it in a different way, so that if needed, customers can query directly out from the compressed data? Cleary querying from compressed would be slower but that is ok.
Any other solutions that would allow us to archive data instead of deleting it? Thanks.
I have a package which loads data from a flat file (csv) to 4 tables in a database.
Now, the load is incremental.
I want to clear the data of all 4 tables(in the database) before loading the data from flat file everytime.How can i do this?
Iam using 4 Oledb Destinations, 1 multicast, 1 source component to do this.
Also can it happen like a transaction? because if it deletes the existing data and couldnt load new data there will be a problem!.how to avoid this?
Hi
i have to delete the master table data without deleting the child table records,is there any solution for this, parent table has relation with the child table.

I have edited the aspnet_Users_CreateUser stored procedure so that the UserId that is created when a new user is created is copied to a UserId field in another table. However, when I use the website administration tool to delete users that have been created, it gives me an error saying the delete statement conflicted with the reference constraint. I then added the following code in the aspnet_Users_DeleteUser procedure....
IF ((@TablesToDeleteFrom & 16) <> 0 AND
(EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE (name = N'vw_tt') AND (type = 'V'))))
BEGIN
DELETE FROM dbo.userclassset WHERE @UserId = UserId
SELECT @ErrorCode = @@ERROR,
@RowCount = @@ROWCOUNT
IF( @ErrorCode <> 0 )
GOTO Cleanup
IF (@RowCount <> 0)
SELECT @NumTablesDeletedFrom = @NumTablesDeletedFrom + 1 hdhd
END
This code was then added to the function at the end which deletes the data from the aspnet_Users table when everything else has been removed
(@TablesToDeleteFrom & 16) <> 0 AND
Now when I delete a user in the website admin tool, it "deletes" (with no error) the user from the list but doesnt actually physically delete it from the database.
Any ideas?

my row in my data base consists of 12 coulmns, i have a duplicate values in 6 coulmns of it , i use select distinct for all it doesnt work for it it doesnot remove dupliacte , i cant make primary key or any constraint on this 6 coulmns together cause it contains duplicate values even if i choose ignore duplicate it doesnot work
example
id name adress telephone job gender deprtment
1 john dd 123 doctor m 1st deprtment
1 john dd 123 doctor m 2nd deprtment
so there is duplicate on id, name,telephone, job , gender and different in department so how i make a primary key on id , name , adress , telephone , job , gender together
also how to delete duplicate from it although i used distinct function and it doesnit remove duplicate
thanks in advance
I am looking for an opinion on the best way to delete all data from a table after it has been replicated.
The simple use case would be:
Data is replicated from production server to archive server.
Data is deleted from production serverThanks in advance...
I have a table where I want to delete some data from but I get this error.
You might have a record that has a foreign key value related to it, or you might have violated a check constraint.
What to do????

Hi,
I really don't know how frowned upon my approach is here, but it was the only way I have been able I've been able to do it.
On my application, when users delete their account, it sometimes brings the db server to a COMPLETE crawl. The reason is some users who delete have many years of related data, and when the data deletes with them, its very slow.
To avoid this I've taken off many contstraints, and I do have some sprocs that deleted orphaned data at night.
thoughts on this approach ?
Hi gurus,
The data is automaticaly deleting from one perticular table at every night from last week onwords. I have created a delete trigger to find it out. But Nothing was recorded. There is no jobs except maintainance plans. Nothing in event viewer too. The database recovery model is simple. How can i solve this problem
Please advise me to solve this problem
Thanks

I have an entry form allowing customers to enter up to 15 skus (productid) at a time, so they can make a multiple order, instead of enteringone sku, then submitting it, then returing to the form to submit thesecond one, and so forth.From time to time, the sku they enter will be wrong, or discontiued, soit will not submit an order.Therefore, when they are done submitting their 15 skus through the orderform, I want a list showing them all of those skus that came back blank,or were not found in the database.I'm doing this by creating two tables. A shopping cart, which holds allthe skus that were returned, and a holding table, that holds all theskus that were submitted. I want to then delete all the skus in theholding page that match the skus in teh cart (because they are goodskus) which will then leave the unmatched skus in the holding table.I'll then scroll out the contents of the holding table, to show them theskus that were not found in the database.(confused yet?)So what I want to do is have some sql that will delete from the holdingtable where the sku = the sku in the cart. I've tried writing this, butit dosn't work.I tiried this delete from holding_table where sku = cart.skuI was hoping this would work, but it dosn't. Is there a way for me to dothis?Thanks!Bill*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi Everybody,
Kindly let me know if there is a way of deleting data from primary table without deleting data from its corresponding foreign key table.
Thanks & Regards
I have a table that contains more than 10,000 rows of
duplicate data. The script below copies the data to a temp table then
deletes from the original table. My problem is that after it runs, I now
have 122 rows of triplicate data (but dups are gone). If I rerun the script, it doesn't see the
triplicate data and returns 0 rows. I've use three different versions of
delete dup row scripts with the same result. There are no triggers or
constraints on the table, not even a primary key. What am I missing?-------------------------------------------------------------------

I can run a select to retrieve data using a prefix 'a' for the specific table involved. However when I try to run a delete using the same criteria it fails telling me
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1,.......Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'a'
The Select statement looks like:
select count(*) from schema.table a where a.customer_id=1234
The Delete looks like:
delete from schema.table a where a.customer_id=1234
What am I doing wrong here? and how can I prefix the table, because the command I want to run is much more complicated than the example above and it needs the prefix
When I delete substantial amounts of data using the SQL DELETE command, the database size apparently remains the same (702 mb) and the log file goes from about 17 mb to over 1 gig. I was expecting for the overall size to decrease drastically, but got just the opposite.
Is this typical? Can I do something to slim it down? As I am just trying to decrease the overall size to make it easier to work with when creating my application in VB, I am not worried about restoring the db (I have secure copies).
Hi All,
I have to delete 135 Million records from our production server, keeping only last three months data & the table doesnot have any index.
Can you please suggest the best possible approach to perform this activity.
Approach i am thinking :-
1)I will rename the existing table & create a new table with the same name (By this my application wont be interrupted)
2)then i am planning to create a nonclustered index on the date column sort order desc so that i can get the last three months data.
3)Once the index is created i can transfer the required records to the new table created in step 1.
Please sugeest your valuable feedback or suggestions to perform the task ASAP.
Thanks

I've a management module (managing Products) currently being displayed on the aspx page using ObjectDataSource and GridView control.The datasource is taken from a class residing in my Data Access layer with custom methods such as getProducts() and deleteProduct(int productID)I'm currently using SqlDataAdapter as well as Datasets to manipulate the data and have no big problems so far.However, my issue is this, each time i delete a product using the deleteProduct method, I would need to refill the dataset to fill the dataset before i can proceed to delete the product. But since I already filled the dataset using the getProducts() method, is it possible to just use that dataset again so that I dont have to make it refill again? I need to know this cos my data might be alot in the future and refilling the dataset might slow down the performance. 1 public int deleteCompany(Object companyId)

I get the message "string or binary data would be truncated" when i try to delete it. If i try to edit the row i get the same message. What do i do?

I need to delete data from a particular table which has more than half a million records. The data needs to be deleted is more than 200,000 records from the table. What is the best way to delete the data from the table other than importing into a temporary table and performing the same operation?
Let me know if the strategy to be followed is okay.
1. Drop all the triggers
2. Drop all the indexes
3. Write a procedure with a loop setting ROWCOUNT to 1000 and delete the records. ( since if I try to delete all the rows it will give timeout error )
The above procedure will delete 1000 records for each batch inside the loop till it wipes out all the data for the specified condition.
4. Recreate Indexes and Triggers.
Please let me know if there are any other optimal solution.
Thanx,

I have a huge table with 4 primary keys on it. I need to delete the data from this table ( approx. 5.6 millions records to be deleted). It takes a hell lot of time to delete it by normal query.
Can someone please suggest me a better way?

I have a table that contains rows that I would like to delete based on a field and it's contents.
What is the correct syntax to script the removal of these rows based field parameter?
We are using SQL Server 2000 Standard ed, sp4 on Server 2000 Advanced.We have one table that is three times as large as the rest of the database.Most of the data is static after approximately 3-6 months, but we arerequired to keep it for 8 years. I would like to archive this table (A), butthere are complications.1. the only way to access the data is through the application (they areimages produced by the application-built on Power-Builder)2. there are multiple tables refrencing this table and vise-versa3. we restore the entire db to two other servers for testing and trainingregularly4. there might be more complications that have not been thought ofCurrently, our only plan is to setup a seperate server with a copy of this dbon it and the application. Leave only the tables necessary to access the data,and if this 'archive' works, remove from production the data from the table Aand all references to the table A from rows on the other tables.I mentioned #3 because someone mentioned a third party tool that may be ableto pull the data from the table, archive it elsewhere, and at the same time,place a 'pointer' in the table to the new storage location. The tool theymentioned only works on Oracle and we have not explored beyond that yet.I am ready to explore ideas and suggestions; I am still new to the DBA world,I am out of ideas.Thank you!--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200607/1
