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.
T
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
