TSQL | Delete All Objects from Database

Often I have to copy number of SQL server database structures from prod system for testing. It’s difficult to get rid of all objects within a database manually. Following script will do just about that.

DropAllObjectsTSQL.txt : Please be careful with database you connect to as this is a destructive script.

use TestDB
go

SELECT @name = (SELECT TOP 1 [name] FROM sysobjects WHERE [type] = ‘P’ AND category = 0 ORDER BY [name])

WHILE @name is not null
BEGIN
SELECT @SQL = ‘DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[‘ + RTRIM(@name) +’]’
EXEC (@SQL)
PRINT ‘Dropped Procedure: ‘ + @name
SELECT @name = (SELECT TOP 1 [name] FROM sysobjects WHERE [type] = ‘P’ AND category = 0 AND [name] > @name ORDER BY [name])
