Dropping Database
Dec 21, 1998Hi,
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:
Attempt to locate entry in the sysdatabases for database 'db1' by name,
failed -- no entry found in that name.
What should I do? Thanks.
Dropping A Database From ASP.NET
Jan 16, 2008I 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.
Thanks.

Apr 26, 2006Hi,
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
{

}
catch (Exception)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("Could not establish Connection!");
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
System.Console.WriteLine("Connection closed!!!");
}
}
The code for creating Tables:

ArrayList createList = projectDBStrings.fillProjectSchema();
SqlTransaction tx;

Dropping Connections To Restore Database
Aug 3, 2000Hello 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 A Database That Subscribes For Replication
Nov 2, 1999I 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

Dropping All Database Objects Through Script
May 28, 2008Does 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.

Jun 26, 2015With 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?
Dropping An Active Connection On An Attached Database
Jan 9, 2008Why in the hell doesn't SQL Server provide a facility for dropping anactive connection on an attached database in SQL Server Managementconsole?

View 2 Replies View RelatedReducing Database Size After Dropping Text Column
Jul 20, 2005Hello,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
View 6 Replies View RelatedTransact SQL :: Database Size Does Not Decrease After Dropping All The Tables
Oct 15, 2015I 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 .
Dropping Tables
May 28, 2002Is 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, 2007Looking 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!

Dropping Constraints
Oct 15, 2007How to remove the constraints on a table in sql server 2000? I need to drop the column, so i need to drop the constraint before that.
Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dropping A Constraint
Sep 20, 2006I think the answer to this question will be something like 'you'll have to re-initialize the subscribers', but I need to ask anyway...
I created a publication where my foreign key constraint we NOT created with NOT FOR REPLICATION. My publication is configured to replicate DDL changes. Is there any way I can drop and re-create the constraint in the publisher and get replication to push the change to the subscribers?
Thanks for your help

Trigger Dropping
Apr 12, 2006Hi:
I think I am doing something wrong. I am trying to make the trigger fire when I want to drop the same trigger. For example I have the following trigger defined:
USE AdventureWorks2000
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Incheckstock
ON DATABASE
FOR DROP_TRIGGER
AS
PRINT 'You must disable Trigger "Incheckstock" to drop Trigger!'
ROLLBACK
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
ENABLE TRIGGER Incheckstock ON DATABASE
DROP TRIGGER Incheckstock
ON DATABASE
I created the trigger Incheckstock and i want to see if the same trigger fires itself if when i am trying to drop the trigger with the same name (kind of recursive one). Is this possible in SQL 2005?. If I asked a dumb question, please correct me.
Thanks

when I retrive the data to edit the profile it returns the correct

I have a DROP TABLE `data$` then a CREATE TABLE `data$` the old data is cleared but the new data is appended to the blank rows of the old data. So if I had 5 rows before now I have 10.

I've used the wizard thinking it was me but no good, it still happens.

Dropping SQL Server Connections

I am running a query to return some rows to Access, but once I have returned the rows, I want to drop the linked table connection to SQL Server, because it is locking a table on the server. I think I need to write a bit of VBA code, but I don`t know where to start. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
