Delete or Truncate All Data in a Database
A quick tip for you all, ever need to delete or truncate all the data from a database? There has been a few times during testing after my database grew, that I needed a quick solution to clear a database. The solution is using the MSForEachTable stored procedure. Simply do the following :
DatabaseName – The name of the database you need to clear out.
To Delete :
USE DatabaseName EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'DELETE FROM ?'
To Truncate :
USE DatabaseName EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'TRUNCATE TABLE ?'
Happy Coding!
