Table And View Will Not Drop
Jun 13, 2001
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?

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.

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.

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.

Hello !
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 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 am unable to get the table in the following VB code to actually DROP. A straight SQL version with literals (no variables) runs "successfully" as a query but the table also fails to DROP. Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong?
sSQL = ""
sSQLExists = ""
sSQLExists = "IF OBJECT_ID (N'ImEx.dbo." & TableName & "', N'U') IS NOT NULL"
sSQLExists = sSQLExists & " DROP TABLE ImEx.dbo." & TableName & ";"
sSQL = "CREATE TABLE [" & TableName & "] (" & sFieldInfo & ");"
ConnectSQLExpress "ImEx.mdf"
DbConn.Execute sSQLExists
DbConn.Execute sSQL
DbConn.Close

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.

Hi all,
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,

Hi,
Here is what I have done:
1. I created two tables using:
CREATE TABLE CursorTest
(
RowID INT,
RowText CHAR(4)
)
GO
CREATE TABLE CursorTestOdd
(
RowID INT,
RowText CHAR(4)
)
GO
I then populate the tables using:
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @intCounter INT
DECLARE @chrTextOdd CHAR(4)
DECLARE @chrTextEven CHAR(4)
SELECT @intCounter = 1
SELECT @chrTextOdd = 'Odd'
SELECT @chrTextEven = 'Even'
WHILE (@intCounter <= 200000)
BEGIN
IF (@intCounter % 2) = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO CursorTest VALUES (@intCounter,
@chrTextEven)
END ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO CursorTest VALUES (@intCounter,
@chrTextOdd)
END
SELECT @intCounter = @intCounter + 1
END
GO
3. I then tried to use cursor to insert and delete rows from the tables
DECLARE @intRowID INT
DECLARE curOddRows CURSOR FOR
SELECT RowID
FROM CursorTest
WHERE RowID % 2 = 1
OPEN curOddRows
FETCH NEXT FROM curOddRows INTO @intRowID
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO CursorTestOdd
SELECT *
FROM CursorTest
WHERE RowID = @intRowID
DELETE CursorTest
WHERE RowID = @intRowID
COMMIT
FETCH NEXT FROM curOddRows INTO @intRowID
END
CLOSE curOddRows
DEALLOCATE curOddRows
GO
Here comes the mess:
I have no problem with codes in step 1&2,but when I tried to execute the codes in step3, I got no error, however, when I checked the two tables, nothing has been changed which means that my insert and delete are not working on the two tables. SO I tried to debug the script and found out that the code:
WHERE RowID % 2 = 1
is not working correctly, it seems that the code returns nothing, if I changed it to
WHERE RowID % 2 = 0
it returns the correct answer.
I then tried to execute the modified codes in step3, I got a message saying that
"A cursor with the name 'curOddRows' already exists."
If I changed the name to 'curOddRows1' and execute, it will say:
"The cursor is already open."
But I execute the code again whatever, and it takes a long time for it to finish such that I cannot wait. So I clicked the 'stop' button to cancel the execution.
Now I want to drop the tables and got following error:

Dim db as ADODB.Connection
'... open connection to database
Dim strCmd As String
strCmd = "CREATE TABLE tmp_tbl AS SELECT * FROM tbl"
db.Execute strCmd
