Dropping A Database That Subscribes For Replication

Nov 2, 1999

I am trying to delete a database that currently subscribes for replication. The problem however, is that the publishing server no longer exists and I can't disable the subscription therefore I can't drop the database. When I try to disable the replication the server tries to communicate with the old server. Is there anyway to force the dropping of the database or to force the server to disable replication.

thanks in advance

Replication - Dropping A Table

Nov 22, 2002

I'm new to replication and would like to know how to drop an article published for replication. I believe I need to follow these steps, but I am unsure.

Step (1)
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'db name',
@article = N'article name',
@subscriber = 'subscriber name',
@destination_db = N'db name'

Step (2)
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'db name',
@article = N'article name'

Step (3)
drop the article on the publisher

Step (4)
drop the article on the subscriber

Is this the correct sequence or am I missing something.

Thanks, Dave

Problem Dropping Replication Support

Jan 14, 2006

I am working on establishing a merge replication process between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Mobile 2005. I started with a new SQL Server 2005 instance and went through the Sample for SQL Mobile merge replication. So far so good.

Today, I tried to drop all support for replication on my current SQL 2005 test instance, so that I can start from a fresh instance and do another. I used Management Studio to drop all publisher and distribution settings and had several errors occur, where some roles were not allowed to be dropped because they had membership in them.

I dropped all the users that I added to the SQL logins and tried again.

Now I am trying to run the following script:

use AdventureWorks
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = N'AdventureWorks', @optname = N'merge publish', @value = N'false', @ignore_distributor = 'true'

-- Dropping the distribution publishers
exec sp_dropdistpublisher @publisher = N'XP-MIKED-LAPTOP'
GO

-- Dropping the distribution databases
use master
exec sp_dropdistributiondb @database = N'distribution'
GO

/****** Uninstalling the server XP-MIKED-LAPTOP as a Distributor. Script Date: 1/14/2006 2:16:29 PM ******/

use master
exec sp_dropdistributor @no_checks = 1, @ignore_distributor = 1
GO

The error I am getting from the first batch (sp_replicationdboption) is this:

Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmergepublishdb, Line 103
Invalid object name 'dbo.sysmergesubscriptions'.

To me it looks like all the publication objects have been already removed from AdventureWorks, but in sysdatabases, the category column still says 4 (merge publication). Since I can't just do this anymore:

UPDATE MASTER.DBO.SYSDATABASES
set category = 0
where dbid=8

I just don't know what I can do at this point. I can't even create a new publication in AdventureWorks because it thinks there is a sysmergepublications table in there and fails when there isn't.

Transactional Replication: Dropping A Replicated Table.

Jan 19, 2007

For SQL 2005 transactional replication I have 1400 articles (tables, views, functions, sp) that are all replicated.

Will SQL 2005 allow me to drop a table from from the publication and drop it from the publication database that is referenced by exising views or sps that are replicated or does it somehow check that?

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:

Dropping A Database From ASP.NET

Jan 16, 2008

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:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot drop the database 'db_testco', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

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.

Problem Dropping Database C#

Apr 26, 2006

Hi,

i have a problem dropping a database?

I have a WinForm and i can create DB, create the Tables and drop the DB via buttons.

When i start myProgram it's no problem to drop the Database.
Then i can create the database without problems.
The tables also without problems.

Now if i try to drop my whole DB, i get the error message:

SqlException Handle :System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot drop database "XtmsDb" because it is currently in use.


The code for dropping db:

public void deleteProjectDB()
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=TURM21;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;";

sqlStr = "Drop database XTmsDB";

try
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Opening Connection...");
conn.Open();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection opened!!!");

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlStr, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
System.Console.WriteLine("Database dropped!!!");
}
catch (SqlException dropEx)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("SqlException Handle :{0}", dropEx.ToString());
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}


The code for creating db:

public void createProjectDB()
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=TURM21;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
sqlStr = projectDBStrings.getDBCreateString();

try
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Opening Connection...");
conn.Open();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection opened!!!");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlStr, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
System.Console.WriteLine("Database created!!!");

}
catch (Exception)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Could not establish Connection!");
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}

The code for creating Tables:

public void createProjectTables()
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=TURM21;Initial Catalog=XtmsDb;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
ArrayList createList = projectDBStrings.fillProjectSchema();
SqlTransaction tx;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("", conn);
IEnumerator createListEnum = createList.GetEnumerator();

try
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Opening Connection...");
conn.Open();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection opened!!!");
try
{
while (createListEnum.MoveNext())
{
sqlStr = (String)createListEnum.Current.ToString();
tx = conn.BeginTransaction();

cmd.CommandText = sqlStr;
cmd.Transaction = tx;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

tx.Commit();

}
System.Console.WriteLine("Schema created!!!");

}
catch (SqlException deleteEx)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("SqlException Handle :{0}", deleteEx.ToString());
}
}
catch (SqlException connectionEx)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("SqlConnection Handle : {0}", connectionEx.ToString());
}
finally
{
conn.Close();

System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}

Dropping Connections To Restore Database

Aug 3, 2000

Hello all,

I need to restore my database and I keep getting a database in use error. Can someone tell me the easiest way to drop all connections to a database and open it exclusively?

Also, I'm not sure where this connection is coming from, there is another database on the same machine that has user connected, can these connections be the problem?

Thanks

Dropping All Database Objects Through Script

May 28, 2008

Does anyone have a script that will iterate through a database and drop all objects in order of dependencies? I need a way recreate all objects in database through SQL script in a development environment without having to recreate the actual database. Therefore I need a way to clear out the current database objects first without running into a problem with dependencies. This needs to be dynamic so that if a object is added, it is automatically included in the drop scripts.

DB Design :: Dropping And Rebuilding A Database

Jun 26, 2015

With some performance issues faced as I checked on Google came across Paul Randal's article on Logging & Recovery: URL...In this regard, and with some schema changes required, ended up with a decision to drop and re-create a database. What are the proper way to do the same and following queries:

A) What would be the recommended way to shift data from some tables of former database to that of the newer one (The latter ones created with the Script Table transaction)?
B) Would a simple Drop Database completely delete the former database completely and clean up the memory (database pages etc.) or I need to take some additional steps for clearing up the space?
C) Most of the data tables have been updated via loading the Bulk Insert commands time to time from CSV/flat files. Could that be somehow the cause of enlarging the the size of Database and Log?

Reducing Database Size After Dropping Text Column

Jul 20, 2005

Hello,A while back I dropped a text column from a SQL Server 7 databaseroughly 3GB in size. I expected the size of the database to decreaseby around 1GB, but no change occurred. After searching usenet, Idiscovered that SQL Server 7 has no way of reclaiming that space, butthat there is some command that can be run in SQL Server 2000 thatwill reclaim it.I have since migrated this database to SQL Server 2000, and am nowtrying to figure out what that command is, but cannot locate anyusenet posts about it... also tried searching books online, but can'tfind anything that way either.Does anyone know what I should run?Thanks,Tom

Transact SQL :: Database Size Does Not Decrease After Dropping All The Tables

Oct 15, 2015

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 .

Replication Issues After A Database Restore - Unable To Drop Or Create Transactional Replication

Sep 13, 2007

Hi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.

Dropping Tables

May 28, 2002

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.

Dropping All Indexes

Jan 3, 2007

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!
