Note> I can not modify old scripts!!!
First script create table TABLENAME.
I have table TABLENAME with column COLUMNNAME DATE DEFAULT GETDATE();
I need to do: ->
ALTER TABLE TABLENAME
ALTER COLUMN COLUMNNAME DATETIME;
I get a error:
The object 'DF__TABLENAME__COLUMNNAME__7BC8385B' is dependent on column 'COLUMNNAME'.
I have this scripts on multiple databases so this part 'DF__TABLENAME__COLUMNNAME__7BC8385B'
is on every database different.
I can make
ALTER TABLE TABLENAME
DROP CONSTRAINT DF__TABLENAME__COLUMNNAME__7BC8385B;
And it will work, but It will not be very effective use it manually on all DB, I need make the script which will alter this column on everywhere without needed to know that constraint name.
If you've got variable constraint names you'll have to generate the change script per database. If you've got faith in this you can put the resulting script into an sp_executesql call.
This is using the sys views to query the database structure and generate the script in the last result column.
declare #TableName nvarchar(128) = 'TABLENAME';
declare #ColumnName nvarchar(128) = 'COLUMNNAME';
SELECT t.name [table], c.name [column], typ.name [type]

Having given up on SQL Azure Data Sync for synchronizing data between two SQL Azure databases, how can I remove all the DataSync related objects (tables, triggers etc)?
E.g:
DataSync.<table>_dss_tracking
DataSync.schema_info_dss
DataSync.scope_config_dss
DataSync.scope_info_dss
And all the other objects? Is there a script that can be run?
There is an article on msgooroo.com:
https://msgooroo.com/GoorooTHINK/Article/15141/Removing-SQL-Azure-Sync-objects-manually/5215
Essentially the script is as follows:
-- Triggers
DECLARE #TRIGGERS_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
SELECT
'DROP TRIGGER [' + SCHEMA_NAME(so.uid) + '].[' + [so].[name] + '] '
FROM sysobjects AS [so]
INNER JOIN sysobjects AS so2 ON so.parent_obj = so2.Id
WHERE [so].[type] = 'TR'
AND [so].name LIKE '%_dss_%_trigger'
FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT #TRIGGERS_SQL
IF LEN(#TRIGGERS_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
EXEC (#TRIGGERS_SQL)
END
-- Tables
DECLARE #TABLES_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
SELECT
'DROP TABLE [' + table_schema + '].[' + table_name + '] '
FROM
information_schema.tables where table_schema = 'DataSync'
FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT #TABLES_SQL
IF LEN(#TABLES_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
EXEC (#TABLES_SQL)
END
-- Stored Procedures
DECLARE #PROC_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
SELECT 'DROP PROCEDURE [' + routine_schema + '].[' + routine_name + '] '
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES where ROUTINE_SCHEMA = 'DataSync' and routine_type = 'PROCEDURE'
FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT #PROC_SQL
IF LEN(#PROC_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
EXEC (#PROC_SQL)
END
-- Types
DECLARE #TYPE_SQL VARCHAR(MAX) = (
SELECT
'DROP TYPE [' + SCHEMA_NAME(so.uid) + '].[' + [so].[name] + '] '
FROM systypes AS [so]
where [so].name LIKE '%_dss_bulktype%'
AND SCHEMA_NAME(so.uid) = 'Datasync'
FOR XML PATH ('')
)
PRINT #TYPE_SQL
IF LEN(#TYPE_SQL) > 0
BEGIN
EXEC (#TYPE_SQL)
END
-- Schema
DROP SCHEMA DataSync
I recently ran into this issue and while the script in the accepted answer did remove the DataSync schema, it did not remove the dss or TaskHosting schemas nor the symmetric key objects that were preventing me from exporting my database.
I ended up needing to contact Azure support to get everything removed. Here is the script that they gave me:

Thanks vitomaz!
If your architecture between Azure and SQL Server is still in place - you can simply unregister from the SQL Data Sync Agent which will delete above objects for you.
Microsoft released this script a while ago. Handy if you need to remove a single table
declare #TableName nvarchar(max)
set #TableName = 'yourTableName'
--In case you wish to delete objects related to all the tables you can uncomment the following:
--set #TableName = ''
-- Generate the script to drop Data Sync tables
select 'drop table [DataSync].['+ st.name+ '];' from sys.tables as st join sys.schemas as ss on ss.schema_id = st.schema_id
where ss.name = 'DataSync' and st.name like '%' + #TableName + '_dss_%'
-- Generate the script to drop Data Sync stored procedures
select 'drop procedure [DataSync].['+ sp.name+ '];' from sys.procedures as sp join sys.schemas as ss on ss.schema_id = sp.schema_id
where ss.name = 'DataSync' and sp.name like '%' + #TableName + '_dss_%'
-- Generate the script to delete Data Sync triggers
select 'drop trigger [' + schema_name(schema_id) + '].[' + name + ']'
from sys.objects where type = 'TR' and name like '%' + #TableName + '_dss_%'
-- Generate the script to delete Data Sync-related udtt
select 'drop type [DataSync].['+ st.name+ '];' from sys.types as st join sys.schemas as ss on st.schema_id = ss.schema_id
where ss.name = 'DataSync' and st.name like '%' + #TableName + '_dss_%'
If you have sync setup on an on premise SQL Server, un-registering the database from the Azure Sync Agent interface will do the necessary cleanup.
I am using a Multi tenant Shared schema database, so i have so many schema,
Required:
I want to remove some schema; for that i have to remove all the CONSTRAINT of tables in that schema to delete a table. I got the the list of query to remove all the CONSTRAINT of a schema and the query to delete the tables from below code
Question:
From the below code i got a list of Queries,now i am copy that queries and executing that list of queries manually,can i do that automatically ?
Code
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #SchemaName nvarchar(250)
SET #SchemaName='schemaname1'
--Step 1: Remove all CONSTRAINT
SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' +'[' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + ']' +' DROP CONSTRAINT [' + f.name +']'
FROM sys.foreign_keys f
INNER JOIN sys.TABLES t ON f.parent_object_id=t.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id=s.schema_id
WHERE t.is_ms_shipped=0
and t.schema_id = schema_id(#SchemaName);
--Step 2: Drop all Tables
SELECT 'DROP TABLE ' + '[' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + ']'
FROM sys.TABLES t
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id=s.schema_id
WHERE t.is_ms_shipped=0 and t.schema_id = schema_id(#SchemaName);
Using COALESCE function we can turn multiple rows into a single string in SQL Server
Following code is working fine, to delete All the table in a Schema
SELECT * INTO #mytemp FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA
WHERE [SCHEMA_NAME] in ('schemaname1','schemaname2','schemaname3')
WHILE (SELECT Count(*) FROM #mytemp) > 0
BEGIN
DECLARE #SCHEMA_NAME varchar(100)
SELECT #SCHEMA_NAME = [SCHEMA_NAME] FROM #mytemp
DECLARE #SQL VARCHAR(MAX)
SET #SQL='';
--Step 1: Remove all CONSTRAINT
SELECT #SQL= COALESCE(#SQL,'') +'ALTER TABLE ' +'[' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + ']' +' DROP CONSTRAINT [' + f.name +']'+ ' ; '
FROM sys.foreign_keys f
INNER JOIN sys.TABLES t ON f.parent_object_id=t.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id=s.schema_id
WHERE t.is_ms_shipped=0
and t.schema_id = schema_id(#SCHEMA_NAME);
--Step 2: Drop all Tables
SELECT #SQL= COALESCE(#SQL,'')+'DROP TABLE ' + '[' + s.name + '].[' + t.name + ']'+ ' ; '
FROM sys.TABLES t
INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id=s.schema_id
WHERE t.is_ms_shipped=0 and t.schema_id = schema_id(#SCHEMA_NAME);
EXEC(#SQL)
--Custom Query End
DELETE #mytemp WHERE [SCHEMA_NAME] = #SCHEMA_NAME
END
DROP TABLE #mytemp
Hello I would like to know is is possible to drop all tables in database what was created under custom schema for example DBO1...with one sql query or special script.
Thanks
This will generate all the DROP TABLE statements for you and PRINT the SQL statement out.
You can then validate it's what you expect before copying and executing. Just make sure you are 100% sure...maybe take a backup first :)
DECLARE #SqlStatement NVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #SqlStatement =
COALESCE(#SqlStatement, N'') + N'DROP TABLE [DBO1].' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + N';' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'DBO1' and TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
PRINT #SqlStatement
Somewhat old thread I know, but I was looking for something like this and found the original answer very helpful. That said, the script will also try to drop views that might exist in that schema and give you an error message because you end up trying to drop a view by issuing a DROP TABLE statement.
I ended up writing this because I needed to drop all tables, views, procedures and functions from a given schema. Maybe not the most elegant way to accomplish this, but it worked for me and I thought I'd share.
DECLARE #Sql VARCHAR(MAX)
, #Schema varchar(20)
SET #Schema = 'Integration' --put your schema name between these quotes
--tables
SELECT #Sql = COALESCE(#Sql,'') + 'DROP TABLE %SCHEMA%.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + ';' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = #Schema
AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME
--views
SELECT #Sql = COALESCE(#Sql,'') + 'DROP VIEW %SCHEMA%.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + ';' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = #Schema
AND TABLE_TYPE = 'VIEW'
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME
--Procedures
SELECT #Sql = COALESCE(#Sql,'') + 'DROP PROCEDURE %SCHEMA%.' + QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_NAME) + ';' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE ROUTINE_SCHEMA = #Schema
AND ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE'
ORDER BY ROUTINE_NAME
--Functions
SELECT #Sql = COALESCE(#Sql,'') + 'DROP FUNCTION %SCHEMA%.' + QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_NAME) + ';' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE ROUTINE_SCHEMA = #Schema
AND ROUTINE_TYPE = 'FUNCTION'
ORDER BY ROUTINE_NAME
SELECT #Sql = COALESCE(REPLACE(#Sql,'%SCHEMA%',#Schema), '')
PRINT #Sql
I know this is an old thread but I think the easiest way to do this is by using the undocumented sp_MSforeachtable stored procedure:
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable
#command1 = 'DROP TABLE ?'
, #whereand = 'AND SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) = ''your_schema_name'' '
A detailed report on this stored procedure can be found here, but in case the link goes dead here are the highlights:
sp_MSforeachtable is a stored procedure that is mostly used to apply a T-SQL command to every table, iteratively, that exists in the current database.
[...]
realized that the question mark (?) it is used as the replacement of the table and during the execution it will be replaced by the appropriate table name.
#command1, #command2, #command3
sp_MSforeachtable stored procedure requires at least one command to be executed (#command1) but it allows up to 3 commands to be executed. Note that it will start to execute first the #command1 and then #command2 and #command3 by the last and this for each table.
#precommand
Use this parameter to provide a command to be executed before the #command1. It is useful to set variable environments or perform any kind of initialization.
#postcommand
Use this parameter to provide a command to be executed after all the commands being executed successfully. It is useful for control and cleanup processes.
#replacechar
By default, a table is represented by the question mark (?) character. This parameter allows you to change this character.
#whereand
By default, sp_MSforeachtable is applied to all user tables in the database. Use this parameter to filter the tables that you want to work with. On the next section, I will explain how you can filter the tables.
Building on the other answers, here is a stored procedure spDropSchema that drops all objects in a schema and the schema itself.
Note that the procedure tries to drop sequence objects too, so it will only work on SQL Server 2012 and above.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE type = 'P' AND name = 'spDropSchema')

Building on #Kevo's answer, I added the following for dropping all foreign key constraints before deleting the tables. I've only tested on SQL2008 R2
select #Sql = COALESCE(#Sql,'') + 'ALTER TABLE %SCHEMA%.' + t.name + ' drop constraint ' +
OBJECT_NAME(d.constraint_object_id) + ';' + CHAR(13)
from sys.tables t
join sys.foreign_key_columns d on d.parent_object_id = t.object_id
inner join sys.schemas s on t.schema_id = s.schema_id
where s.name = #Schema
ORDER BY t.name;
Also building on #Kevo's answer, I added the following while loop for an issue I was having with TSQL Print statement. A message string can be up to 8,000 characters long. If greater than 8,000 the print statement will truncate any remaining characters.
DECLARE #SqlLength int
, #SqlPosition int = 1
, #printMaxLength int = 8000
SET #SqlLength = LEN(#Sql)
WHILE (#SqlLength) > #printMaxLength
BEGIN
PRINT SUBSTRING(#Sql, #SqlPosition, #printMaxLength)
SET #SqlLength = #SqlLength - #printMaxLength
SET #SqlPosition = #SqlPosition + #printMaxLength
END
IF (#SqlLength) < #printMaxLength AND (#SqlLength) > 0
BEGIN
PRINT SUBSTRING(#Sql, #SqlPosition, #printMaxLength)
END
I combined the answers from #raider33 and #Kevo to one solutions for direct execution.
DECLARE #SqlStatement NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #schema varchar(30) = 'SCHEMA_NAME';

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = #schema
EXECUTE sp_executesql #SqlStatement
Just in case it helps someone, I added this as a stored procedure to the master database to allow it to conveniently used on any db / schema.
It can be called like this:
EXEC master.dbo.dropTablesInSchema 'my_db', 'dbo
Stored procedure create script:
CREATE PROC [master].[dbo].[dropTablesInSchema]
#db nvarchar(max),
#schema nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Tables TABLE (name nvarchar(max))
INSERT INTO #Tables

FROM #Tables
EXEC(#SqlStatement)
END
Building on chris LB's answer, I added
GROUP BY d.constraint_object_id, t.name
because I saw duplicate constraint deletions in my query. constraint_object_id is the FK Constraint ID, as noted at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186306.aspx
DECLARE #SqlStatement NVARCHAR(MAX),
#Schema NVARCHAR(20)
SET #Schema = 'aa'
SELECT #SqlStatement =
COALESCE(#SqlStatement,'') + 'ALTER TABLE '+#Schema+'.' + t.name + ' DROP CONSTRAINT ' +
OBJECT_NAME(d.constraint_object_id) + ';' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
FROM sys.tables t

ORDER BY t.name;
select 'DROP TABLE [TABSCHEMA].' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + N';' from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'TABSCHEMA' and TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
This will generate all the DROP TABLE and DROP VIEW with check exists.

Change db to your database and set #dbSchema to your schema.
USE db -- CHANGE TO YOUR DB
GO
DECLARE #dbSchema NVARCHAR(200);
SET #dbSchema = 'dbo' -- CHANGE TO YOUR SCHEMA
DECLARE #SqlStatement NVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #SqlStatement =
COALESCE(#SqlStatement, N'') + N'DROP TABLE ' +'[' + #dbSchema +']' + '.' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + N';' + CHAR(13)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = #dbSchema and TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
EXEC sp_executesql #SqlStatement
I have a list of half a dozen MSSQL 2008 tables that I would like to remove at once from my database. The data has been entirely migrated to new tables. There is no reference in the new tables to the old tables.
The problem being that old tables comes with loads of inner FK constraints that have been autogenerated by a tool (aspnet_regsql actually). Hence dropping manually all constraints is a real pain.
How can I can drop the old tables ignoring all inner constraints?
It depends on how you want to drop the tables. If list of tables need to drop covers almost above 20 % of tables under your DB.
Then I will disable all the constraints in that DB under my script and drop the tables and Enable the constraints under the same script.
--To Disable a Constraint at DB level
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
--Write the code to DROP tables
DROP TABLE TABLENAME
DROP TABLE TABLENAME
DROP TABLE TABLENAME
--To Enable a Constraint at DB level
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
Finally to check the Status of your constraints fire up this Query.
--Checks the Status of Constraints
SELECT (CASE
WHEN OBJECTPROPERTY(CONSTID, 'CNSTISDISABLED') = 0 THEN 'ENABLED'
ELSE 'DISABLED'
END) AS STATUS,
OBJECT_NAME(CONSTID) AS CONSTRAINT_NAME,
OBJECT_NAME(FKEYID) AS TABLE_NAME,
COL_NAME(FKEYID, FKEY) AS COLUMN_NAME,
OBJECT_NAME(RKEYID) AS REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME,
COL_NAME(RKEYID, RKEY) AS REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME
FROM SYSFOREIGNKEYS
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME, CONSTRAINT_NAME,REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME, KEYNO
If you dont want to disable the constraints at Database level then make a list of tables which you want to drop.
Step1 : Check the Constraints associated with thos tables
SELECT *
FROM sys.foreign_keys
WHERE referenced_object_id = object_id('dbo.Tablename')
Step2 : Disable the Constraints which are associated with these tables.
ALTER TABLE MyTable NOCHECK CONSTRAINT MyConstraint
Step3 : Drop the tables
DROP TABLE TABLENAME
A simple DROP TABLE dbo.MyTable will ignore all constraints (and triggers) except foreign keys (unless you drop the child/referencing table first) where you may have to drop these first.
Edit: after comment:
There is no automatic way. You'll have to iterate through sys.foreign_keys and generate some ALTER TABLE statements.
Run the following script to delete all the constraints in all tables under current DB and then run the drop table statements.
DECLARE #dropAllConstraints NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'';
SELECT #dropAllConstraints += N'
ALTER TABLE ' + QUOTENAME(OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(parent_object_id))
+ '.' + QUOTENAME(OBJECT_NAME(parent_object_id)) +
' DROP CONSTRAINT ' + QUOTENAME(name) + ';'
FROM sys.foreign_keys;
EXEC sp_executesql #dropAllConstraints
I found a reasonable(ish) way to do it by making SQL write the SQL to drop the constraints:
select concat("alter table ", table_name, " drop ", constraint_type ," ", constraint_name, ";")
from information_schema.table_constraints
where table_name like 'somefoo_%'
and
constraint_type <> "PRIMARY KEY";
You will want to modify the table name to suit your needs, or possibly select against other column/values.
Also, this would select any non primary key constraint, which might be too big of a sledgehammer. Maybe you need to just set it to =?
I am not a DBA. there may be better ways to do this, but it worked well enough for my purposes.
I finally found the solution based on the script provided by Jason Presley. This script automatically removes all constraints in the DB. It's easy to add a WHERE clause so that it only applies to the set of concerned tables. After that, dropping all tables is a straightforward.
Be very careful with the following script, all tables, views, functions, stored procedures and user defined types from a database ignoring all constraints.
/*
Description: This script will remove all tables, views, functions, stored procedures and user defined types from a database.
*/
declare #n char(1)
set #n = char(10)
declare #stmt nvarchar(max)

select #stmt = isnull( #stmt + #n, '' ) +
'drop procedure [' + schema_name(schema_id) + '].[' + name + ']'
from sys.procedures

select #stmt = isnull( #stmt + #n, '' ) +

I suspect that you would have to do an 'alter' command on the offending tables before the drop to remove the forigen key contraints.
ALTER TABLE Orders DROP FOREIGN KEY fk_PerOrders;
DROP TABLE Orders;
Of course if you drop the child tables first, then you wont have this problem.
(unless you have table A contraint to table B and table B constraint to A, then you will need to Alter one of the tables, e.g. A to remove the constraint)
e.g. this WONT work, since Orders has a contraint from Order_Lines
DROP TABLE Orders;
DROP TABLE Order_lines;
e.g. this will work
DROP TABLE Order_lines;
DROP TABLE Orders;
