How To Drop All PKs On Tables In Database?
Feb 1, 2007
I have a list of 35 tables that need to drop the primary key index from in my database.
My problem is as follows for these 35 tables:
1. How can I get a list of all the primary keys for this subset of tables in my database
2. How can I drop just the PK for each of these tables?
I want an easy quick way to do this without having to manually do this for each of the 35 tables in my database. I dont want to do this for all tables just the subset.
Thanks

Hi folks.
Here i have small problem in transactions.I don't know how it is happaning.
Up to my knowldge if you start a transaction in side the transaction if you have DML statements
Those statements only will be effected by rollback or commit but in MS SQL SERVER 7.0 and 6.5
It is rolling back all the commands including DDL witch it shouldn't please let me know on that
If any one can help this please tell me ...........Please............
For Example
begin transaction t1
create table t1
drop table t2
then execute bellow statements
select * from t1
this query gives you table with out data
select * from t2
you will recieve an error that there is no object
but if you rollback
T1 willn't be there in the database
droped table t2 will come back please explain how it can happand.....................

Hello all, im using visual web developer btw. Im using the excellent tutorial here at http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/view.aspx?tabid=63&id=49 Works a treat. For my catalogue/database. i have 2 tables using the drop down menu - one is a "Buyers guide" (a list of the product) and an "application list" (this one is a list of the motorbike).
So in essence they are the same tables, but of course moved around with slightly different ways. What i would like to, is to some how make a refferenced link to each - Once one of the drop down menus has been linked to a product, theres a column that tells u what bike is being used....i therefore want to have a link so the seconmdary drop down menu - but i do not know how i can do this. Any ideas guys/gals? thx.

When I am initializing a transactional replication from SQL 2005 to Oracle 10g, SQL tries to drop tables that don't exist. The properties option for the articles specifically states "if the name is in use:". The name is not in use, yet SQL still tries to drop non-existent tables, which causes the replication to halt. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas what to do about it?
Thanks!

I have two tables that will not drop in a Database. I'm running SQL 6.5 on a Compaq Proliant.
Symptoms: Both tables show up in sysobjects, sysindexes, and syscolumns. Both allow SELECT, sp_rename, and truncate, but just hang ISQL or the Enterprise Manager when I try to drop them. I ran a DBCC CheckTable on them with no errors reported. Any ideas??

I have a package that i want to move between enviroments. Therefor i need to create a package that creates all my tables on the new server.

GO"
The case is that i have around 30 tables, and my question is therefore
I know that you can create the drop and create script for one table at the time in the SQL Server Management Studio, but is there an easier way to do this

Hello,
I have a query that's in development that uses several temp tables. In order to test the query repeatedly while it's being written I have the following code at the beginning to discard the temp tables. This allows the query can recreate the temp tables when called in the code.
if object_id('tempdb..#temp1') is not null drop table #temp1
if object_id('tempdb..#temp2') is not null drop table #temp2
if object_id('tempdb..#temp3') is not null drop table #temp3
if object_id('tempdb..#temp4') is not null drop table #temp4
if object_id('tempdb..#temp5') is not null drop table #temp5
Even though this works, it takes multiple lines of code. One of my queries has to drop 12 temp tables, thus 12 lines of code. I have been experimenting with looping the above as follows:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @table as nvarchar(10)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @table = '#temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null drop table @table
set @n = @n + 1
end
Unfortunately, the above does not work. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@table'.
I have also tried:
declare @n as nvarchar(3), @dropstmt as nvarchar(25)
set @n = 1
while @n <= 5 begin
set @dropstmt = 'drop table #temp'+@n
if object_id('tempdb..#temp'+@n) is not null @dropstmt
set @n = @n + 1
end
This does not work either. It gives this error message:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@dropstmt'.
Does anyone know how to get this to work?
Thanks.

Greetings
I am thinking of creating a script that generates another script for creating/dropping tables, indeces, FK, views, stored procedures..etc in the right order in a specific database. I accept the fact this script is dangerous (like if I ran it on production server). But it sure will be very helpful when moving our SQL objects from development to qa and then to production. Is this worth it? Haev you see anything that generates such a thing?
Thanks

Just a quicky about temporarary tables. If using QA, when you create atemporary table, it gets dropped if you close the query. Otherwise youneed to state 'DROP TABLE myTable' so that you can re-run the querywithout the table being there.Sometimes, you can have quite lengthy SQL statements (in a series)with various drop table sections throughout the query. Ideally youwould put these all at the end, but sometimes you will need to dropsome part way through (for ease of reading and max temp tables etc...)However, what I was wondering is :Is there any way to quickly drop the temporary tables for the currentconnection without specifying all of the tables individually ? Whentesting/checking, you have to work your way through and run each droptable section individually. This can be time consuming, so beingnaturally lazy, is there a quick way of doing this ? When workingthrough the SQL, it's possible to do this quite a lot.ExampleSQL Statement with several parts, each uses a series of temporarytables to create a result set. At the end of a section, these worktables are no longer needed, so drop table commands are used. Thefinal result set brings back the combined results from each sectionand then drops those at the end.TIARyan

Hey guys, has anyone ever seen this happen:
Try to move stored proc from one DB to another using DTS, errors on create proc. Create proc manually.
Three tables referenced by that stored proc have been dropped and re-created with the same table structure.
I'm not 100% certain that it happened at exactly the same time, but it seems to be around the same time. Any ideas? Anyone seen this happen before?

Hi,
In my DB, many of my tables have a column named upsize_ts I have already been told that it is not linked in any way with the data in the DB. The data type of these columns is timestamp and every record in those colum is this : "<Binary>"
Now maybe it's because the whole DB comes from an export from an Access DB, or maybe not. I just had a few questions:
1/ Does anyone know why that column got generated and what it means? (optional)
2/Now the real question: is there any statement allowing me to "mass-drop" all those columns named "upsize_ts" in every table of my DB at the same time? Or at least any way not to do it one drop table at a time?
Thanks.

Hi everybody,
I would like to know if there would be any special way to force drop a database from an ASP.NET page.
When I try to do it in the normal way, it gives me an exception like: Cannot drop the database 'xxxxxxx' because it is currently in use. I'would have to wait until there is a timeout.
In fact that database can be accessed from another pages, but I want to know if I'd be able to force drop database even when another pages are using it.
Thanks in advance

I'd like to write a stored procedure to drop all objects in a SQL Server 2000 database owned by a particular uid. Originally I'd hoped to use these two stored proc built-ins for the task: sp_MScheck_uid_owns_anything (to get a list of all objects owned by a uid) and sp_MSdrop_object (to drop the objects). I've run into a few problems along the way:
1. If I run this command
EXEC sp_MScheck_uid_owns_anything 5
I get this weird error message:
"The user owns objects in the database and cannot be dropped."
Not sure why that is since I'm just trying to list the objects, not drop them.
2. I tried running a simple query to get the objects from the system table instead:
SELECT * from [dbo].[sysobjects] where uid = 5
This returns a resultSet as you'd expect. When I wrote a stored procedure to loop through these and use sp_MSdrop_object it seemed to fail whenever it encountered a foreign key object. Here is the error message:
The request for procedure 'name of foreign key' failed because 'name of foreign key' is a unknown type object.
Can anyone give advice as to the best way to go about doing this? I'd really prefer not to have to drop the entire database and recreate it. Thanks!
-Cliff
