Is there any way around (or will there be) using the drop-down? It takes several minutes when running against an Oracle Apps database to populate that dropdown with the several hundreds of tables and views.
TIA.
We have a table created by an application, and a view that joins the table with other tables.
For some reason we are now unable to drop the table or the view. In Enterprise Manager the drop table dialog comes up, we click 'Drop All' and then the hour glass comes up and never goes away. No errors are returned, the process just never returns control to the client, the same when trying to remove the view. Using Query Analyzer is no different.
However stopping and starting the server resolves the problem for a while, but eventually the same problem starts happening. The table is created, populated and dropped using stored procedures called from a web page via asp script. This process may occur numerous times and hasn't been a problem until the last day or so when the developer added a couple of smallint columns to the table.
Anyone know what could be the problem here?
Good day!
I am getting a bizard error here...
I am trying to drop replication off a database, and funny enough went trough all the steps and I am still getting the error when I try to Disable publishing.
I also did an EXEC sp_removedbreplication 'databasename'
Any ideas?

my problem is that when i start the sp, it complains the sp already exists....yes it does, however, i don't if im going about this the wrong way...but i tried the following to no avail

Hi,
I increased one of my base tables column which is referenced in view
I noticed sql server didn't recognized this change and its still showing old field size in the view.
I can simply drop and create it again. But wanted to know if there is any way (command/sp) to recompile the view which will be easy to deploy in production as patch.
Thanks

I have a VIEW which is dynamically generated through complex dynamic SQL. Unfortunately the dynamic SQL uses "Select * from table" to select the columns because the programmer did that to reduce the amount of code in the dynamic SQL string as the code can't be debugged if it's too long.
Therefore, I have a VIEW with columns in it I don't need, and want to remove them from the view - I need to remove all columns with column names matching the syntax '%1%_2' .
The view is called TEMP_EXPORT_1
I can either use the code below to return a list of columns that I want removed:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name like '%1%_2'
Or I can use the code below to return the list of columns that I want to keep:
select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2'
Now how would I go about altering TEMP_EXPORT_1 view so that it no longer has these columns? I know views don't have a drop statement...
Therefore I tried the following but I'm not sure of the syntax:
ALTER VIEW dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
AS
SELECT (select column_name from information_schema.columns
where table_name='TEMP_EXPORT_1' and column_name not like '%1%_2')
FROM dbo.TEMP_EXPORT_1
Am I on the right track? how can I ALTER this view to remove these columns? ... I want to keep this separate from the code that generated the view as I want it as an optional procedure that can be run if needed.
Hi,
I have a dataflow task with two components: OLE DB source --> Flat File destination
In the OLE DB source, I am accessing a view, not a table.
However, when I attempt to map the view's input columns to the flat file destination columns, the screen is completely blank. There's none of the usual drop downs that let you select the column name, nor can I drag and drop the input column from the upper pane to the lower pane.
Is there a trick to doing this?
Thanks
I am work on SQL Server 6.5
When I want to drop a view then appear error message :
"Msg 3701, Level 11, State 1 Cannot drop the view 'EUL_ODBC_SCHEMAS',
because it doesn't exist in the system catalogs."
Has anybody else experienced this, and do you know what is causing the warning?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

which one is smarter, where there is no indexing on the table which is really simple table delete everything or recreate table. I got an argument with one of my coworker. He says it doesnt matter i say do delete. Any opinions.

I try to drop a table, but I get this message :
Could not drop object 'dbo.cs_Users' because it is referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint
This message does not tell me which is the Foreign key constraint so that I may disable it.
Any solution to force the dropping?
Thank you very much!

hi, is it possible to recover the dropped table?
if means please tell me how.
hi everyone,
I have a couple questions. I'm very new to SQL and I have this problem:
I need to be able to drop the contents of Existingtable_B into Newtable_A - I found this command (below) that will make a 'copy' but I don't want to keep the contents of Existingtable_B. Is it possible to drop them into Newtable_A instead of copy? Also, I want to do this for 5 tables on Sundays at midnight.. how could I schedule that? Finally, what happens if there is not enough space or some other critical error happens during this procedure? I don't want to lose the data.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I need some help with Merge Replication. After successfully defining a publisher, distributor and subscriber to perform merge replication, we decided to test Merge Replication to see what we can and can't do.
What we found is that you can't add new fields or change the nullable/null attributes of tables whilst the replication settings are still defined to the databases. ie you get the following error
'tblProducts' table
- Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot drop the table 'dbo.tblProducts' because it is published for replication.
So we thought, fair enough. We decided to uninstall replication using the wizards provided to see whether we can make schema changes. What we found is that we can make schema changes to the publisher database(on Server1), BUT not to the subscriber (Server2).
Does anyone know why? We are running SQL7 SP2.

Hi,
I had a question and did not obtain an answer. So I am trying to rephrase and ask again, in case I was not clear the first time.
When we drop and recreate a table, do we always have to recompile the stored procedures that reference the table? Or is only under certain scenarios that we need to do so- like if an index on the table is changed
Please let me know
Thanks in advance

I have a group that has select, insert, update, delete permissions and I have a user in that group that
needs permissions also to drop tables.
does that login need to be aliased to dbo - which is in public -- do I then to give puboic all the other permissions.
Is there a way to just give one login all permissions including dropping tables??
Help!!
I want to get rid of a huge table. DELETE FROM would take for-freaking-ever, so I was thinking of doing DROP TABLE. Would this be any faster?
If not, would doing a TRUNCATE TABLE and then DROP TABLE be fast? What's the best way to nuke a big table?
Thanks.

I have 2 questions:
1. How can I drop /remove a complete db from MSDE desktop engine?
2. After exporting my db onto MSDE server and get connected those db tables in FE (adp), how can I create a new table in the same back end db?
I know these are basic questions but since I am new to MSDE I hope the forum would bear me.
With kind regards,

is there a way to drop all the indexes on a table other than listing them out separately in a drop index statement?
