I need to delete multiple sql logins on one of my database servers that are no longer needed. Most of these logins are not attached to any database on the server because the database has been deleted from this server. Is there any way to delete logins that are no longer needed without having to review every login to verify it is not attached to a database before deleting?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to delete from multiple tables/views a column with a specificname? For example, a database has 50 tables and 25 views all have a columnnamed ColumnA. Is it possible to write a simple script that will deleteevery column named ColumnA from the database?Seems to be it would be possible and I can somewhat vision it usingsysobjects but without wanting to spend too much time generating the script(when I could in shorter time manually delete) thought I'd pose the question.Thanks.

what effects will this have on the data? Will the user receive lots of
locking problems or anything? We're in the process of setting up one
of our training rooms with new computers. We want to keep everything
as simple as possible -- which would be 1 login for all 30 computers --
but we are unsure of the ramifications.
Thanks so much for your advice!

ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello EveryoneI am in the process of creating a web application that will allow me to have one place to go to see all of my SQL Databases. I would like to have one of the pages that showed the current status, or maybe next to the name of the server, have the status listed.I know how to create a database connection string using the web.config But I will need to have a query that loops thru a list of database server names, and each of them returning the status. Being able to connect, query the status of the server, show the status of each database. My database connection string will only log into one database. How can I code this to be able to loop thru the list of stored database server names, and then be able to log into each database server?Can I use a separate class with a method, and pass in the name of the server? That means that I would have to have the same user name on all the database servers, wouldn't I ?I am looking for a way to accomplish this. I am open to suggestions. I am coding my web app using C#. ThanksAndrew SQLDBA

Hi,
How do you delete multiple packages at once ?
We have a folder in SSIS called ETL and there are about 25 SSIS packages in it.
Now we need to update it.
I tried to delete the folder but you get the message that the folder is not empty.
So I renamed the folder to ETL_old and my deployement works fine.
But now I want to get rid of all the old folders. Delete a folder didn't work.
Selecting multiple packages doesn't work.
To delete a single one you select the package, right click and select delete, click yes.
But then I have to do it 25 times. I was unable to set a short cut with the keyboard for that action.
Any ideas ?

I am new to SQL Server and I am trying to create a script / possible a cursor that will allow me to create multiple logins in one pass - without having to type each one.
I have 20 users USER1, USER2, USER3, USER4... but I can't seem to figure out how to get those users into a loop
so I can end up with something like this.
CREATE LOGIN <user> FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[English]......
I realize I can type this statement 20 times but perhaps there is a faster way -
want to delete rows from two tables after a join.
in Access, here's something we can do:
delete table_A.*, table_B.*
from table_A left join table_B on ...
but in ms sql, it appears (to me) that you can only delete from one table at a time. how would i accomplish what i want to do?
also, is there a distinctrow equivalent in ms sql server? thanks
I have 3 tables . iwant to delete rows from all the three tables at same time using single statement.All the 3 tables have a unique column which will be supplied ny the user.
DELETE FROM T1,T2,T3 WHERE column1='1'
how do i do it.
Hey all,
I know very simple SQL queries but I need help with this one. I have multiple lines in a SQL database that I need to run. Basically, I need to run this (the bracketed text and the XXX are place holders):
DELETE FROM [tableName] WHERE [columnName] = 'XXXXX'
But I need to run it around 90 times where XXXXX is a unique variable each time. I could create 90 lines similar to this one but that would take way too much time to run. Any suggestions for a noob?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm using ASP with a JScript variant and MSSQL Server 2000. I would like to write a script that basically erases all data except for a few things.
Is there a way to update multiple tables at once without having to write lines and lines of code? I tried UPDATE tbl1,tbl2 SET uid='asc', but to no avail. It gave me a syntax error. My thinking behind it is something like... UPDATE dbo.* SET uid='mferguson' and after that I can delete stuff like DELETE dbo.*... Any ideas?
I know the above is ASP, I've tried this thread in the ASP forum with no avail... they referred me to this forum.
Hi,
I have different tables with the same schema as follows
ID Name
-----------------
<Table 1>
ID Name
-------------------
1 Name1
2 Name2
3 Name3
<Table 2>
ID Name
-------------------
1 Name1
4 Name4
5 Name5
I just want to delete the row where ID = 1 from these tables in one query ? Is it possible??
Thanks

Hi All
I'm new to sql server. I have built simple database apps using MFC CRecordset over MS Access. I'm tying to learn about SQL server by building a simple app using MFC CRecordset in Visual Studio 2005.
The problem I have is within SQL Server Management studio experess. I have a table called OriginalDrawings that looks like this
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OriginalDrawings](
[DrawingID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[OriginalFileName] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[PartNumber] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[SheetNumber] [int] NULL,
[Revision] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[OriginalDirectory] [varchar](100) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[DrawingCategory] [int] NOT NULL,
[ProductFamily] [int] NOT NULL,
[IsSalvage] [bit] NULL,
[FileSize] [int] NULL,
[DataQueryFlag] [bit] NOT NULL,
[DataQueryCode] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_OriginalDrawings] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[DrawingID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
I've loaded it with 40,000 records from my test app. If I open it in SSMSE hit Ctrl-A to select all and then press delete SSMSE appears to hang - it freezes for 10 mins+ (after which I restart my PC. I can delete 1000 records at a time OK, I can delete all quite quickly from my test app by walking through the recordset and deleting each record.
Does anyone know why it appears to hang when I try the delete all?
Thanks

I'm new to relational database concepts and designs, but what i've learned so far has been helpful. I now know how to select certain records from multiple tables using joins, etc. Now I need info on how to do complete deletes. I've tried reading articles on cascading deletes, but the people writing them are so verbose that they are confusing to understand for a beginner. I hope someone could help me with this problem.
I have sql server 2005. I use visual studio 2005. In the database I've created the following tables(with their column names):
Table 1: Classes --Columns: ClassID, ClassName
Table 2: Roster--Columns: ClassID, StudentID, Student Name
Table 3: Assignments--Columns: ClassID, AssignmentID, AssignmentName
Table 4: Scores--StudentID, AssignmentID, Score
What I can't seem to figure out is how can I delete a class (ClassID) from Classes and as a result of this one deletion, delete all students in the Roster table associated with that class, delete all assignments associated with that class, delete all scores associated with all assignments associated with that class in one DELETE sql statement.
What I tried to do in sql server management studio is set the ClassID in Classes as a primary key, then set foreign keys to the other three tables. However, also set AssignmentID in Table 4 as a foreign key to Table 3.
The stored procedure I created was
DELETE FROM Classes WHERE ClassID=@classid
I thought, since I established ClassID as a primary key in Classes, that by deleting it, it would also delete all other rows in the foreign tables that have the same value in their ClassID columns. But I get errors when I run the query. The error said:
The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_Roster_Classes1". The conflict occurred in database "database", table "dbo.Roster", column 'ClassID'.
The statement has been terminated.
What are reference constraints? What are they talking about? Plus is the query correct? If not, how would I go about solving my problem. Would I have to do joins while deleting?
I thought I was doing a cascade delete. The articles I read kept insisting that cascade deletes are deletes where if you delete a record from a parent table, then the rows in the child table will also be deleted, but I get the error.
Did I approach this right? If not, please show me how, and please, please explain it like I'm a four year old.
Further, is there something else I need to do besides assigning primary keys and foreign keys?
is there a way to delete multiple tables using the Management Studio GUI?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a relational database with the primary table, table01. And 2 child/foreign tables, table02 and table03. All 3 tables shared the same key - [ID].
I am not sure if this is the correct approach but I am trying to create a stored procedure where if I were to delete a the row in table01 (primary), the procedure will automatically delete the common row in both table02 and table03.
I have come up with something like that but it does not seems to be correct.
CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_delete_test01_1] (@id [int])
AS
DELETE [test01] DELETE [test02] DELETE [test03]
WHERE ( [id] = @id)GO
Your advise please. Many Thanks.
i have a database sturcture :
| tbl_Customer | -> one to many ->| tbl_Orders |
What i want is to delete one customer from the tbl_Customer table, and automatically delete all the child orders to that customer.
i could by using loops, look through all the childs and delete the records one by one and the customer last.
so i wounder if there are an SQL state that automatically look up childs and drop them all by calling an stored procedure.
Hello,
I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.
What's the best way to solve this problem?
Please, help
Thanks
I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service.
When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include:
Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts.
SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names.
We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login.
I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login.
And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done.
How do you associate db users with a Windows login?
When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
Hope this all makes sense.

Hi,
I have two servers (server1, server2). I was trying to access the data from server1 to server2. I linked the servers and set up the option for data access.
when I run the following command from server1: sp_remoteoption 'server2', 'sa', 'sa', TRUSTED, TRUE
It gives me the following error. How to handle this.

There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user 'sa' from the remote server 'server2'.
I appreciate your help.

I have a server that was recently upgraded from SQL 6.5 to 7.0 that contains almost 700 logins using standard security. Is there a limit to the number of logins that SQL will host? The logins/users have all been added using a GUI within an application and does not support NT authentication. Does this cause any known problems in SQL 7? When I right click on the database and go to properties / permissions MMC gets hung up. Also one of the systems analysts is convinced that SQL is dropping permissions (I disagree to this). Any one have any thoughts or experience with large numbers of logins / users?
Linda
Does anyone know of any 3rd party software applications that will make users change their SQL
logins every 3 months?
Thanks,
Heather
