Briefcase

This script will DELETE ALL constraints within the database that you define and in the following order: Foreign Key, Primary Key and then Unique Key.

CAUTION:This script does not print out the ALTER TABLE statements, it drop the constraints immediately, therefore backup your database before testing or using this script.

I ran the script below and it deleted 591 constraints in about 2 minutes.

I created and tested this script on SQL Server 2005, I don't know if it will work on SQL 2000
