In oracle, to drop all tables and constraints you would type something like
DROP TABLE myTable CASCADE CONSTRAINTS PURGE;
and this would co
This is all fun and games until some table references your table...
Then I must alter the code provided like so :
CREATE PROCEDURE _cascadeConstraints @database nvarchar(30) = NULL, @table nvarchar(60) = NULL
as
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(255)
WHILE EXISTS(select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS where constraint_catalog = @database and table_name = @table)
BEGIN
select @sql = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @table + ' DROP CONSTRAINT ' + CONSTRAINT_NAME
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS
where constraint_catalog = @database and
table_name = @table
select @sql = 'ALTER TABLE ' + tc.TABLE_NAME + ' DROP CONSTRAINT ' + tc.CONSTRAINT_NAME
from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS tc join
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS rc on
(rc.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = tc.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG and
rc.CONSTRAINT_NAME = tc.CONSTRAINT_NAME) join
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS tc_pk on
(tc_pk.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG = rc.CONSTRAINT_CATALOG and
tc_pk.CONSTRAINT_NAME = rc.UNIQUE_CONSTRAINT_NAME)
where tc.constraint_catalog = @database
and tc_pk.TABLE_NAME = @table
exec sp_executesql @sql
END
go
