Need help with admin scripts.
Have written stored procs to insert/update/drop column extended props but can't quite figure out how to drop all extended props for a particular table::column.
Tried stored proc to cursor on result
fn_listextendedproperty
but couldn't get that to work.
Where are xtended props stored in db?
We have a secuiry review and they have recommended dropping several xp_ stored procedures. I have tried the drop procedure with no luck, Error 3701, or right click delete in Man Studio, same error. I have granted the user alter permission to the master database and when I try to delete get Error 4606. I try to grant CONTROL permission of the stored proc to the user and get another 4606 error.
Do I just have to control the permissions of these procedures tightly?
Thanks In Advance

Hi,
Is there an easy way (a sql script) to drop the "MS_Description" of all tables and all columns in my database?

Hi I’m trying to alter a table and delete a column I get the following error. The object 'DF__Morningst__LastU__19EB91BA' is dependent on column 'LastUpdated'.
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN LastUpdated failed because one or more objects access this column. I tried deleting the concerned constraint. But the next time I get the same error with a different constraint name. I want to find out if I can dynamically check the constraint name and delete it and then drop the column. Can anyone help.IF EXISTS(SELECT 1FROM sysobjects,syscolumnsWHERE sysobjects.id = syscolumns.idAND sysobjects.name = TablenameAND syscolumns.name = column name)BEGIN EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablename DROP CONSTRAINT DF__SecurityM__DsegL__08C105B8')EXECUTE ('ALTER TABLE tablenameDrop column columnname)ENDGO
I am using SqlServer 2005 and I have created small sample table with culumns that have Extended properties.
FirstName have [First Name] extended propery called M_Caption.
Then I created a view from the table to use in an access database.
My problem is, I can't get the table column extended properties to show up in the view column extended properties.
Here is the table
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Person] Script Date: 04/07/2008 14:42:01 ******/

through MS SQL Server Management Studio I have a database defined as:
dbname
- Tables
- dbo.xyz
-Columns
Field definition_a
Field definition_b
Field definition_c
...
For each "Field definition" I can define "extended properties"
So the question is, from a stored procedure in C#, how can I read through the "Field definitions"
looking for an extended property of a specific integer value?

Does anyone know why this does not work?

Without the hastle of makin a tblABCcopy and copy all data from tblABC except column xyz and re-do all fks; is there another way to drop the column?

I have a question, Every month I get a request from cutomer service to go into a SQL VIEW and DELETE a column to reflect the past Month. How to write a query to create a SQL job to performed this task automatically. For example today I deleted the column [2015/03] which represents the month of March. The columns left are [2015/04] representing the current month, [2015/05], [2015/06],[2015/07]....[2016/08].Next month I will have to delete column [2015/04]and the current month will be [2015/05]....etc.
So I'm thinking I will have to Drop the column and also Maybe using a date funtion to look at the current date and format it to reflect [YYYY/MM] and IF the Column Month is less than current date month then drop the column.

I checked column from xsd file which created from DataBase.
And before installing my application I will check any column in destination base whether have complete column or not.
And if there is any column which is not wanted column(not same as xsd structure)
I will delete it by creating sql command as follow "ALTER TABLE tableName DROP COLUMN column1, column2, ......"
and Execute it by program initialization.
So
I need delete it by run-time
However some column may be Primary Key with any reason
That's why I can't delete them by simple command
I expect to delete them by specific column instead of specific constraint name which is not sure name.
Please advise me....
Hi all,
how can I drop a column in a table.
I did this...
ALTER TABLE tm_spn_equip_def ADD Customer_No int NOT NULL DEFAULT dbo.f_spn_GetCustomerNo() WITH VALUES
Now when I attempt to do this...
ALTER TABLE tm_spn_equip_def DROP COLUMN Customer_No
I get an error:
Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF__tm_spn_eq__Custo__019E3B86' is dependent on column 'Customer_No'.
Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN Customer_No failed because one or more objects access this column.
How can I get around this?

I have a database that I have made using sql server 2005 express edition. I want to run a query to drop one of the columns from one of the tables. I have tried the following but had no luck.
USE database
DROP column FROM table
This is the error that I got when I tried this.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'.
Of course, my query had the real database, table and column names. I have generic ones that I have provided here.
Do I have to alter the table instead of dropping the column that I don't want?
Do I have to remake the table without the column that I don't want?

I am very new to sql and I have got this doubt.
CREATE TABLE employee
{ EMP-ID VARCHAR UNIQUE,
DESIG VARCHAR UNIQUE,
SALARY INT };
Probably this is worst table ever created :).Now How to drop UNIQUE constraint on only column lets DESIG.
if i write
ALTER TABLE employee
DROP CONSTRAINT myuniqueconstraint;
will drop constraints on both columns which I dont want.
Any query that remove UNIQUE CONSTRAINT only on DESIGN column.
and one more clarification,
ALTER TABLE employee
MODIFY SALARY INT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE employee
ALTER COLUMN SALARY INT NOT NULL;
which of the above two is right query to add NOT NULL constraint to the above employee TABLE?
I have a huge table in it own tablespace (250 GB). I just deleted more thanhalf of the columns in that table, but I didn't see any change in allocatedspace. I did DBCC CLEANTABLE and DBCC SHRINKFILE, but nothing. MS also saysthat CLEANTABLE only reclaims space for columns with text, char datatypes.How can I get space back for integer, decimal, number datatypes? I'm justall out of ideas.

I need to know definitively when I need to drop and recreate column statistics (histogram) when altering a column. Empirically, it seems I can lengthen a varchar or change a not null column to a nullable one, and then existing statistics dont' cause
Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The statistics 'c1' is dependent on column 'c1'.
Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN c1 failed because one or more objects access this column.
But, if I change a column to not nullable or shorten a column, I get the error.
Is this the complete description of when I need to drop and recreate column statistics and when I don't?
Is there any way to remove the IDENTITY property of a column? I originally used it, but it caused so many headaches with ADO.NET that I've decided to just increment the darn things manually. So I want to turn it into just a normal integer column.
If there's no direct way, can someone suggest a quick way to create a new column, copy all the old values into the new column, change the primary key to the new column, and drop the old column?
Thanks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy question: Is it okay to drop all the auto generated column statistics? (for the following scenario)
- I am cleaning up unnecessary objects (tables, unused indexes, overlapping statistics etc) from databases and found out there are more than 1400 auto generated column statistics on one database (lets call it A).
- Database A was used to be our reporting database but from last several years we are using database B for reporting. DB A has all the historical data while DB B only has valid records.
- We are updating all the column statistics with full scan nightly on database A and it is talking almost 2.5 hours to do that. Now I want to drop all the "unnecessary" statistics those were created when DB A was reporting database and they are no longer in use. There is no way to know the creation date of the column statistics that I know of. Statistics "last update date" is of no use because of our nightly job. So I was thinking of dropping all the auto generated column statistics and let the sql server create as it needs from now.
