Question : Delete Tables with Certain Condition

Hi All,

I want to delete (drop) tables with certain condition.

How could I do it?

Thank you.

Answer : Delete Tables with Certain Condition

Try this code.
Tweak the condition until it outputs the right set of tables,
then un-comment the line:

--exec ('drop table ' + @tablename)

Please be very careful with this code and take backups of your database first!!!!
