I am trying to write a script that will strip all indexes ( including PKs ) from a database.

So far I have this :
/* http://refactormycode.com/codes/522-drop-all-indexes-in-sql-server
Script to Drop all indexes in a database
*/
ALTER DATABASE membership SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS OFF
go
DECLARE @indexName VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @tableName VARCHAR(128)

DECLARE [indexes] CURSOR FOR
	
	SELECT		[sysindexes].[name] AS [Index],
			[sysobjects].[name] AS [Table]
	
	FROM		[sysindexes]
	
	INNER JOIN	[sysobjects]
	ON		[sysindexes].[id] = [sysobjects].[id]
	
	WHERE		[sysindexes].[name] IS NOT NULL
	AND		[sysobjects].[type] = 'U'

OPEN [indexes]

FETCH NEXT FROM [indexes] INTO @indexName, @tableName

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
	PRINT 'DROP INDEX [' + @indexName + '] ON [' + @tableName + ']'

	FETCH NEXT FROM [indexes] INTO @indexName, @tableName
END

CLOSE		[indexes]
DEALLOCATE	[indexes]
which runs without error, but does not drop all the indexes, even though the Message window clearly shows a drop command has been run :

DROP INDEX [CPK_STATEH] ON [statehouse]

I also see drop commands for 'on the fly' indexes that were created with auto-statistics
DROP INDEX [_WA_Sys_cClass_02B25B50] ON [MembershipClasses]

I can't seem to see a pattern as to which indexes are dropped and which aren't, but if I run any single line of the drop index commands shown in messages they seem to work fine.

I'm clearly over my head here in TSQL. Would appreciate any guidance - or even better a script that will do exactly what I want - dropping all indexes, keys, triggers, constraints etc. ( I am then turning my SMO tool loose on the database and altering the structure prior to some post-SMO script driven munging that will use the current UID fk/pk system to create new pk/fk s as integers and then SSIS the data into another database that uses the new structure and lets the guids go )

The entire point of what I am doing is to add an integer field for every UID field used as a key, use identity to create PK integers, then use something like this
UPDATE dbo.Donations
SET iFK_Members = m.ipk_members
FROM dbo.Members AS m 
	INNER JOIN dbo.Donations AS d
		ON  m.cPK_Members=d.cFK_Members
to get the integer foreign keys to contain the correct values

Appreciate any help you can offer.

TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
