The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Best way to truncate an entire database under Sql Server 2005 Express?

Asked by jmoriarty in SQL Server 2005, Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: , , ,

Hello,

I have a project that involves regularly flushing data from 3 tables with the following structures:

Customer - all the usual fields + a primary key of customer id, PKCustomerID referencing FKCustomerID in the Orders table.

Orders - basic billing/shipping info and a primary key of orderid, PK OrderID, and a foreign key of FKCustomerID referencing PKCustomerID in the customer table.

OrderItems - order line item information, primary key of PKOrderLineItemID, foreign key of FKOrderID referencing PKOrderID in the Orders table.

Essentially, this is like an intermediary database that we import new information into on a daily basis, but flush the old data first. There's an application that sits on top the SQL Server database that allows creation/deletion of databases. Right now, I'm doing I'm flushing the existing data by recreating the database with the application that sits on top the DB, since I can't just truncate each table in turn due to foreign key relations, triggers, etc. but that's rather tedious/time consuming.

Is there an easier way to just empty all records from the database in general without having to drop/recreate the foreign keys etc?

Any insight greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-James
