Remove deleted objects

Applies to: Dataedo 10.x versions, Article available also for: 23.x (current)
You are looking at documentation for an older release.
Switch to the documentation for Dataedo 23.x (current).

Finding all removed objects after major database changes can be tedious.

To make it easier for you, we've created a script which lists all objects marked as removed and generates delete statements you can run straight on the repository.

What you need

  1. Write access to Dataedo repository database
  2. Database console like SSMS

Steps

  1. Paste script below to database console (SSMS)
  2. Replace 'Your_documentation' with your documentation name (or a name pattern) and run the script below.
  3. Run script. Don't worry, nothing got deleted yet.
  4. Results will show you deleted objects
  5. Copy last column and paste to query editor (this is a set of queries that will remove unnecessary objects, see screen below).
  6. Execute script you copied from the result

Results of the script

--pattern for documentation name
-- set to '%' to find removed from all documentations
DECLARE @doc_name NVARCHAR(1024) = 'Your_documentation';
