RE: Deleting database

Ron,

I like this idea. Although, I am not really concerned about userid's or environmentals, truncating test tables and importing the new data in looks like it would be faster than deleting the entire test database and then recreating it. But how would I know what tables to truncate?

Thanks

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

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!
