spAddField is the proc I use to add all fields to the db in our upgrade scripts. With this proc, you pass it the tablename, fieldname, datatype, and null or not null. This will call spGetFieldsExists and see if the fields exists or not. If it does, spAddField will drop that column. Then it readds […]

This script is very helpful for anyone trying to recreate particular SQL Server Database Versions for Testing. It allows you to automatically recompile any stored procedures or views saved with drop, create and permission statements.

This stored procedure detaches and re-attaches a database without specifying a filename for the transaction log.
