Re: Deleting database

Julio,
 If you need to keep the userid's and other environmentals, I would create a script that truncates the tables and then import the data to populate them with the new data. The export can be controlled with a par file and the import can be part of the truncate script. Ron

Hi All,

I have two databases of small size running on a Win2k Server. One is production and the second one test. I would like to delete the test database in an automated way (run a script say every weekend), then recreate it so that I have a fresh database to work with or to import prod data into. I have the scripts for database creation part done. But,
I was wondering if there were any sample scripts for deleting a database
without user interaction or at least know what steps I should follow. Has anybody done this on his or her environment?

Your help will be appreciated!
