Combinando su consejo y un script que encontré en línea, hice un procedimiento que producirá SQL que puede ejecutar para realizar una eliminación en cascada independientemente de ON DELETE CASCADE . Probablemente fue una gran pérdida de tiempo, pero me lo pasé bien escribiéndolo. Una ventaja de hacerlo de esta manera es que puedes poner un GO declaración entre cada línea, y no tiene que ser una gran transacción. El original era un procedimiento recursivo; este desenrolla la recursividad en una tabla de pila.
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.
