Door uw advies te combineren met een script dat ik online heb gevonden, heb ik een procedure gemaakt die SQL produceert die u kunt uitvoeren om een trapsgewijze verwijdering uit te voeren, ongeacht ON DELETE CASCADE
. Het was waarschijnlijk een grote verspilling van tijd, maar ik had een goede tijd om het te schrijven. Een voordeel van het op deze manier doen is dat je een GO
. kunt plaatsen verklaring tussen elke regel, en het hoeft niet één grote transactie te zijn. Het origineel was een recursieve procedure; deze rolt de recursie uit in een stapeltabel.
create procedure usp_delete_cascade (
@base_table_name varchar(200), @base_criteria nvarchar(1000)
)
as begin
-- Adapted from http://www.sqlteam.com/article/performing-a-cascade-delete-in-sql-server-7
-- Expects the name of a table, and a conditional for selecting rows
-- within that table that you want deleted.
-- Produces SQL that, when run, deletes all table rows referencing the ones
-- you initially selected, cascading into any number of tables,
-- without the need for "ON DELETE CASCADE".
-- Does not appear to work with self-referencing tables, but it will
-- delete everything beneath them.
-- To make it easy on the server, put a "GO" statement between each line.
