Dropping A Set Of Tables
Feb 22, 2004
Hi
I am using SQL server 7 database and ASP as front end. I run an application where a text file is loaded into database. After this is done procedures are run to create a set of tables that have snapshots of the data in the text file.. each time i load a new text file i want to create the snapshots.. i hve written a stored procedure to create tables and insert values into the tables.. however how do i delete the tables i created the previous time.. the number of snapshots and their names will depend on the size of the text file.. how do i refer to all the snapshots created and drop them all before creating new ones?
plese guide

Is 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.

I used the set showplan_all on command to get some statistics; I can't use a server trace and I don't like the graphical thingummy.
I ran a sproc that contained three drop table commands; SQL Server refused to drop those tables when set showplan_all was on. I turned it off and it dropped them fine; why can't I drop tables with set showplan_all on?

Hi, while I'm trying to do Select statements, is there a way/setting whereby I don't have to constantly prefix the table names with a prefix?
For example, I'm working in multiple environments and they're differentiated by the prefix in their table names, uat.** vs prod.**
Any help would be appreciated.
Please email me at dickson.lau@rogers.com
Thanks again.

Hi,
I have founde such a nice code to create statements for dropping all statistics in a database.
DECLARE @tblname sysname, @statname sysname, @sql nvarchar(2000)
DECLARE c CURSOR FOR
SELECT object_name(id), name FROM sysindexes WHERE INDEXPROPERTY(id, name, 'IsStatistics') = 1
OPEN c
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @tblname, @statname
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @sql = 'DROP STATISTICS [' + @tblname + '].[' + @statname + ']'
PRINT @sql
FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @tblname, @statname
END
CLOSE c
DEALLOCATE c
Please help me with changing this code to take care only on indexes from my own tables (no system ones).
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I want to drop a Global temp table within a stored procedure.
But first, I want to check it's existence.
So, what I would like to do is something like this
if exists
(select * from sysobjects where name like '##globaltemptable')
drop table ##globaltemptable
But I don't think the global temp tables get stored in sysobjects.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I have a database consisting of two main tables and 12 sub tables.
This was leading to increase in database size. So we thought of storing the sub tables data in the main tables in form of xml in a column of varchar(2000) type.
So we created a new database that only had 2 tables and we stored the data of the sub tables in the new column of the main table.
Surprisingly we saw that the database size increased rather than decreasing .

Hi,
I`m new at SQL Server so excuse me if this question sounds dumb.
Does anybody know how to drop columns in a table. I know I can drop and re-build the table,

Hi,
After I drop the database, I backed up the master database, I recreate the database with new name. When I tried to do the import on the command level,
It gives me the error:
Attempt to locate entry in the sysdatabases for database 'db1' by name,
failed -- no entry found in that name.
What should I do? Thanks.

Looking 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!

How 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?
Thanks,

I think the answer to this question will be something like 'you'll have to re-initialize the subscribers', but I need to ask anyway...
I created a publication where my foreign key constraint we NOT created with NOT FOR REPLICATION. My publication is configured to replicate DDL changes. Is there any way I can drop and re-create the constraint in the publisher and get replication to push the change to the subscribers?
Thanks for your help

I am trying to run a dymanic DROP DATABASE <dbname> command in a stored procedure called from ASP.NET. I typically connect from the .net using a SQL builtin account. I am getting this error:

The database is there for sure asI can browse it via the Studio manager. What permission do I need to set for my .net login to allow it to drop ? I tried adding the Delete permission to the database and still no go...
Setup: SQL 2005 SP2 2 Node cluster.

Hi:
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

I 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.
HELP!

I am using Access 2000 to link tables from SQL Server. The tables are linked using ODBC DSN`s. 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.

SQL 7 created by default a clustered index on my primary key field. I would like to drop this index and recreate it on another field, but it is not allowing me. Error message states: "An explicit DROP INDEX is not allowed... It is being used for PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT enforcement." Can anybody advise how I can solve this? TIA
