NAV 2013: Deleting Obsolete Tables in SQL Server Management Studio

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Victoria B 455

Can anyone advise how to delete obsolete tables through SQL Server Management Studio?

I have tried to delete them within the Development Environment but I keep getting a message that I do not have permission to delete the tables. I have tried assigning my user the permission sets for these tables, and I have db_owner role assigned in sql server.

I have also tried the suggestions in this link (which didn't work):

navisionary.com/.../how-to-delete-bsolete-dynamics-nav-objects

Please advise.

    hi,

    try this link: Killer Objects

    www.archerpoint.com/.../killer-objects

    look at this post on Mibuso

    www.mibuso.com/.../viewtopic.php

    Example would remove a table named 'Setup Table' with ID 6010001 from the Company Cronus...

    DELETE FROM [dbo].[Cronus$Setup Table]                    > remove object data

    DELETE from [dbo].[Object] where Type = 1 and ID = 6010001     > remove object from NAV data dictionary

    DROP TABLE [dbo].[Cronus$Setup Table]  > drop table

    GO

    This does remove the table but causes big problems, backup/restore stops working as it says the above table cannot be found.

    Thanks for your answer!

    When I entered the following, the Development Environment allowed me to create a file backup:

    DELETE FROM [dbo].[Cronus$Setup Table]

    DELETE from [dbo].[Object] where Type = 0 and ID = 6010001

    DELETE from [dbo].[Object] where Type = 1 and ID = 6010001

    DROP TABLE [dbo].[Cronus$Setup Table]

    GO
