I have a partially installed database.
The usual approach is to drop and create the database again in order to start the install again.

In this envrionment, I will not be able to drop the database.

Are there some good forum posts or articles out there describing what is needed to script the drop of all objects DNN creates in the database?

I found this article:

http://blog.falafel.com/Blogs/AdamAnderson/09-01-06/T-SQL_Drop_All_Objects_in_a_SQL_Server_Database.aspx

...but it's not DNN specific so I thought I'd ask around here, see if anyone has experience with dropping the objects rather than dropping the database could advise.

Thanks!

Turns out this script does the job!
For anyone else considering using it, I made two additions:
  1. Added a USE <dbname> at the top to ensure it's dropping objects in the right one, just in case.
  2. Added [dbo].
