How to drop all tables, stored procedure, view and triggers from database
Here I will explain how to drop/delete all tables, stored procedure and triggers from SQL server by single SQL query
Introduction:
In this article, I have explained how to drop all tables, stored procedures, views and triggers from the database. This task is difficult when we have so much quantity of tables, stored procedures and views in the database. In this article, I have shared script to delete all tables, stored procedure and views from the database with the single command.
Remove all Tables:
- drop all user defined tables
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1 = "DROP TABLE ?"
Remove all user-defined stored procedure
-- drop all user defined stored procedures
Declare @procName varchar(500)
Declare cur Cursor For Select [name] From sys.objects where type = 'p'
Open cur
Fetch Next From cur Into @procName
While @@fetch_status = 0
Begin
Exec('drop procedure ' + @procName)
Fetch Next From cur Into @procName
End
Close cur
Deallocate cur
Remove all Views:
-- drop all user defined views
Declare @viewName varchar(500)
Declare cur Cursor For Select [name] From sys.objects where type = 'v'
Open cur
Fetch Next From cur Into @viewName
While @@fetch_status = 0
Begin
Exec('drop view ' + @viewName)
Fetch Next From cur Into @viewName
End
Close cur
Deallocate cur
Remove all triggers
-- drop all user defined triggers
Declare @trgName varchar(500)
Declare cur Cursor For Select [name] From sys.objects where type = 'tr'
Open cur
Fetch Next From cur Into @trgName
While @@fetch_status = 0
Begin
Exec('drop trigger ' + @trgName)
Fetch Next From cur Into @trgName
End
Close cur
Deallocate cur
