Is There A Script To Delete All Database Constraints?
Aug 15, 2006
Hi all, I am trying to delete all of my table constraints and I generated this script:
declare @table_name sysname
declare @alter_table_statement varchar(256)
declare @const_id integer
declare @prt_obj integer
declare @const_name varchar(256)
declare @parent_name varchar(256)
-- definindo o cursor...
declare constraint_id cursor local fast_forward for
select
id
from
sysobjects
where
XTYPE='PK'
OR
XTYPE='F'
order by
parent_obj
declare parent_obj cursor local fast_forward for
SELECT
PARENT_OBJ
FROM
SYSOBJECTS
WHERE
XTYPE='PK'
OR
XTYPE='F'
order by
parent_obj
-- definindo o cursor...
-- apagando as constraints...
open constraint_id
open parent_obj
fetch next from parent_obj into @prt_obj
fetch next from constraint_id into @const_id
set @parent_name = (select name from sysobjects where id=@prt_obj )
set @const_name = (select name from sysobjects where id=@const_id)
select @alter_table_statement = 'alter table '+ ltrim(rtrim(@parent_name)) + ' drop constraint ' + ltrim(rtrim(@const_name))
exec(@alter_table_statement)
while @@Fetch_Status = 0
begin
fetch next from parent_obj into @prt_obj
fetch next from constraint_id into @const_id
set @parent_name = (select name from sysobjects where id=@prt_obj )
set @const_name = (select name from sysobjects where id=@const_id)
select @alter_table_statement = ('alter table '+ ltrim(rtrim(@parent_name)) + ' drop constraint ' + ltrim(rtrim(@const_name)))
exec(@alter_table_statement)
end
close constraint_id
close parent_obj
-- desalocando o cursor...
deallocate table_name_cursor
deallocate constraint_id
deallocate parent_obj
The problem is that this script doesn't complete it's action because of constraint reference problem.
The constraint 'PK__justification__0FEC5ADD' is being referenced by table 'justification', foreign key constraint 'FK6F298AF2E0E77479'.
Can I turn off this constraint verification?
Or there is another way to delete this constraints?
when i run i have an error with some tables constraints. As you know If we try to TRUNCATE a table, and the table is have a relationship with other table like for exemple Employees_Salary with the constraint of SQL Foreign Key then we can't TRUNCATE the table with SQL Truncate Table command, we need to TRUNCATE the Employees_Salary table first because Employees_Salary is depending on it and that is having some records. That's why we need to TRUNCATE both tables and the sequence is to empty that table which is based on SQL Foreign Key or remove this constraint first.
What i need is a list of all database tables ordered by the right sequence considering the constraints Anyone can help me?
I've been handed a database with over 100 tables and told to find everywhere a cascade delete constraint exists. I could just go through every table by hand and check, but I think there must be an easier way, perhaps an sql query on the master db. Any thoughts?
Hi, We have a DB with a heirarchy of tables each connected via Guids and controlled for Delete Operations by Foreign Key Constraints. However, under certain privileged conditions we would like CERTAIN users to be able to perform a Cascade Delete all the way down. Thus by example we have tables A,B,C,D - Typically once a record is inserted into Table A then we can add multiple records in Table B referencing that new record in Table A...and so on through records in Table C referencing Table B...records in Table D referencing table C. Now when we try and delete that ONE Record in Table A we 'could' implement CASCADE DELETES which would delete all those records in Table B,C,D. We decided that was too dangerous to implement as Whooosh....all records could be deleted by a non-privileged user deleteing that ONE records in Table A, so we changed the Cascade DELETE to NO ACTION. However, there are times (hah...particularly in Testing !) when we would like a privilegd user to be able to DO that task...i.e. perform a CASCADE delete. Has anybody got any suggestions on how this would be best, easily and securely implemented. I have had a brief look at INSTEAD OF Triggers but am not sure about the pitfalls of using this... ANy help appreciated, Cheers, Desmond.
How to delete records from multiple tables if main table’s entity is deleted as constraints is applied on all..There is this main table called Organization or TblOrganization.and this organization have branches which are in Brach table called tblBranch and this branch have multiple applications let say tblApplication and these application are used by multiple users called tblUsers.What I want is: when I delete the Organization All branches, application and users related to it must be deleted also.How I can apply that on a button click in asp.net web forms..Right now this is my delete function which is very simple
Public void Delete(int? id){ var str=”DELETE FROM tblOrganization WHERE organizationId=”+ id ; } And My tables LOOK LIKE this CREATE TABLE tblOrganization ( OrganizationId int, OrganizationName varchar(255)
I know this is probably a flick of a switch but I cannot figure out which switch. Setup is SQL Server / Stored Procedures / DAL / BLL(skipped for testing) / PL. The stored procedure queries from only one table and two columns are ignored because they are being phased out. I can run the stored procedure and preview the data in the DAL but when I create a page with an ODS linked to the DAL and a GridView I get this error. I checked every column that does not allow nulls and they all have values. I checked unique columns (ID is the only unique and is Identity=Yes in the table definition). I checked foreign-key columns for values that are not in the foreign table and there are none. Any ideas why do I get this? Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
Hi, I am getting the above error when trying to load a report into my Web Application, I have tracked the error down to one specific field in my database. Even though this field is a NVarChar field and is of size 30 it would seem that there is an issue returning the value from the field. I can write it into the database no problems but when I try to get it out of the database it returns the above error. e.g MOB 401.908.804 - Fails 0401.907.324 - okay 8239 9082 (pager) - fails Anyone got an idea on how to fix this???? Regards.. Peter.
I am using Master Data Service for couple of months now. I can load, update, merge and soft delete data in MDS. Occasionally we even have to hard delete data from MDS. If we keep on soft deleting records in a MDS table eventually there will be huge number of soft deleted records. Is there an easy way to hard delete all the soft deleted records from all MDS tables in a specific Model.
Hi Everyone.. I want to remove all the constraints from all the tables in a database. I'm using SQL Server 2000. will you please help me.. Thanks in advance
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table DepartmentDetail table references Department table Department table references Employee table
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] ( Id varchar, MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

hello i am using sqldatasource 2005: i am using this <sqldatasource id="a"> deletecommand=delete from table where rec_key=@rec_key <deleteparameters> <asp: sessionparameter sessionfield="session_rec_key" type=string> this works fine but if i use this deletecommand=delete from table where rec_key=@rec_key and name=@name <deleteparameters> <asp: sessionparameter sessionfield="session_rec_key" fieldname="rec_key" type=string> <asp: sessionparameter sessionfield="session_name" fieldname="name" type=string> this gives error saying scalar variable @name is not defined.
but the value is going properly. please help me find the solution. thanks
Hello group I am new with working with a SQL database. I am trying to delete a record from the database. The code below just reloads the page. I can’t find any info on deleting just from the database. Can someone tell where I can find how to delete from the database not a datagrid/databind? Or can you tell me what is wrong with the code below? Thanks Michael
Dim delSQL As String = "DELETE FROM tbEmail WHERE (ID = @IDnum)" Dim SqlConn As New SqlConnection(ConnStr) Dim delCmd As New SqlCommand(delSQL, SqlConn) delCmd.CommandText = delSQL delCmd.Connection = SqlConn
Dim dbParam_fldcode As System.Data.IDataParameter = New SqlParameter dbParam_fldcode.ParameterName = "@IDnum" dbParam_fldcode.Value = IDNum dbParam_fldcode.DbType = System.Data.DbType.String delCmd.Parameters.Add(dbParam_fldcode)
SqlConn.Open() Try delCmd.ExecuteNonQuery() Finally SqlConn.Close() End Try
A database disappeared from one of our qa servers last night yet when we looked at the logs no record of the drop datbase command was to be found like wise no record of create database. Can any one tell me where we can look in sqlserver or on the windows 2000 server fro a record of these events
I've got a DB that had a problem restoring, and now it's status is showing (Loading). I'm unable to detach it, delete it, or do anything with it. If I delete it from Enterprise Manager then do a refresh, it shows back up again.
Is there a way to positively, absolutely nuke this database?
Stepping thru the code with the debugger shows the dataset rows being deleted.
After executing the code, and getting to the page presentation. Then I stop the debug and start the page creation process again ( Page_Load ). The database still has the original deleted dataset rows. Adding rows works, then updating works fine, but deleting rows, does not seem to work.
The dataset is configured to send the DataSet updates to the database. Use the standard wizard to create the dataSet.
cDependChildTA.Fill(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild, UserId); rowCountDb = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Count; for (row = 0; row < rowCountDb; row++) { dr_dependentChild = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows[0]; dr_dependentChild.Delete(); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.RemoveAt(0); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.Remove(0); /* update the Client Process Table Adapter*/ // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); } /* zero rows in the DataSet at this point */ /* update the Child Table Adapter */ cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild);
I already did the following but still it wont delete the log file because it is not empty- DBCC SHRINKFILE('logfilename',EMPTYFILE) - DBCC SHRINKFILE('logfilename',TRUNCATEONLY)- ALTER DATABASE databasename REMOVE FILE logfilename
I am setting up a database which schedules production and tracks inventory of items on a daily basis. The scheduler may put in 100 identical entries (apart from the identity column) of an item with its corresponding quantity. My problem is, if there is a shipment of product (a subtraction of quantity from the database), how can I delete a specified number of rows where the inventory listing is 100,000 pcs? I think the DELETE TOP(r) command will work but I don't know how make the command into an actual variable. Maybe there is another way too... My current not-working try; I look at the product desired to delete, figure out how many rows to delete, and since it is not always an integer, figure out a quantity to add back in. The addition part works fine but delete command needs work. Any help is appreciated. int InvRows = 0; decimal RealInvRows = 0; decimal AddQty = 0; int preAddAmount = 0; protected void DelInv_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Label TotProdSum = (Label)DetailsView2.FindControl("TotProdSum"); Label RowQty = (Label)DetailsView3.FindControl("RowQty"); int SubQty = Convert.ToInt32(ShipQty.Text); InvRows = SubQty / Convert.ToInt32(RowQty.Text) + 1; RealInvRows = SubQty / Convert.ToDecimal(RowQty.Text); AddQty = (InvRows - RealInvRows) * Convert.ToInt32(RowQty.Text); IntLbl.Text = Convert.ToString(InvRows); RealLbl.Text = Convert.ToString(RealInvRows); preAddAmount = Convert.ToInt32(AddQty); AddAmount.Text = Convert.ToString(preAddAmount); for (int r = 0; r <= InvRows; r++) { forWhile.DeleteCommand = "DELETE TOP (r) FROM Inventory WHERE (Inventory = @Inventory)"; forWhile.DeleteParameters.Add("Inventory", RowQty.Text); forWhile.Delete(); forWhile.DeleteParameters.Clear(); } forWhile.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO Inventory(Dte, Product, Inventory) VALUES (@Dte, @Product, @Inventory)"; forWhile.InsertParameters.Add("Inventory", AddAmount.Text); forWhile.InsertParameters.Add("Product", InvProdDDL.Text); forWhile.InsertParameters.Add("Dte", Date.Text); forWhile.Insert(); forWhile.InsertParameters.Clear(); }
Hi i have a very annying problem that i cant seem to solve by myself. I have developed a content managment system for a webpage where people can manage the page. It's almost done except for the fact that i cant seem to delete records from my sql express database. To access the database i use an sql login in my code to delete witchever record is retrived from a querystring in the URL field. Below is a sample of my delete code when a button is pressed. protected void ButtonDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string dID = Request.QueryString["dID"];
string myConnectionString = @"Data Source=SRVWEBSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=se;User ID=xx;Password=xx"; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString); string myDeleteQuery = "DELETE FROM drift WHERE dID = @dID"; SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(myDeleteQuery); myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("dID", dID);
Response.Redirect("list.aspx"); } When the i run the code on my development machine located at 10.12.0.80 and the server is located at 10.12.1.65 and this is where the databse is located.

How can I repair the database (5 gb) and remove the transaction log (45 gb). Whenever I run the maintanence wizard, it corrupts the db and I have to restore the db. Whenever I try to shrink the transaction log, the query runs but it doesn't shrink it at all. Is there a manual method for either of these and if so, how?
Everything I read about sp_resetstatus says you must restart SQL after. Isthere a way around that (don't want to shut down production). The suspectdb is just an empty db that is not needed. I need to create another db withthe same name.Thanks.
I have written code to combine, delete redundant data in my system. The table structure remains the same, except I changed some INTs to TINYINTs.
When I do sp_spaceused, it tells me that number of rows is smaller(which is correct), but the datasize, and index_size is significantly larger AFTER the deletions.
I tried using shrink, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
When I right-click the database, and choose PROPERTIES, it also confirms that the database got significantly larger.
I am confused about how deleting data and changing to TINYINTs could make my database bigger. What would cause this?
I have a little trouble with sql server 2005 express database:
customer need install new web application to hosting, but at hosting is currently exist other web application and it's using DB what I must use. DB contains a big number of tables, views, functions, etc.
I need delete all user objects from this DB, it must be as new created one.
Is any query whitch can do this?
PS: I know, best way for this is delete DB and create new one, but i haven't permissions for these.
I had a publication (merge) setup for a database. Deleted the publication and tried to delete the database. Sql server says it can't be deleted because it's has replication setup. Bug??
I have a database user (Maximum). Its default schema is db_datareader. It was created without a login name. When I try and delete this user, i get the following error message:
Drop failed for User 'maximum'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) The database principal owns a schema in the database, and cannot be dropped. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15138)
