How to drop/remove temporary tables from TempDB

Hi,
I do have multiple temp tables with same prefix but with different code at the end. How do i drop them i am sure there is no active connections to it as the created date is from two months ago. I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Sp2 version want to know
if its a bug in that version as the temp tables are not being dropped. 
1.The temp tables are being created in Stored procedure
2. The stored procedure is being executed by a sql agent job
3. The sql agent job keeps failing as the stored proc fails half way thru the code 
4. Does it not drop the temp tables if the stored proc is being executed by agent job and fails ?  does it not consider as session closed ?
Please let me know if needed any more details on it.

Hi Uri..
Yes, thats what i have read but i still have ten temp tables with same prefix and different session code at the end . I am sure there are no open/active sessions tied to them .want to know if there is a bug with SQL server 2005 SP2 version  ?
I am executing the stored proc using SQL Agent job so when it fails does it end the session ? if not how do i do it ?
if i add the below query to the proc does it drop rest of the old temp tables ?
IF EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM sys.tables
WHERE name LIKE '#temp%')
DROP TABLE #temp

    How does one remove temporary files from Safari?  A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6.  Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer.  When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button.  I do not have a Facebook account.  It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Are temporary files the same as the cache?  It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache.  How do I do that?

    Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

  • How to drop a temporary table?

    Hi ,
    I try to create e temprary table with
    create global temporary table My_table_name ( ..... ) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ;
    All is OK.
    I try this step:
    insert into My_Table_name select ..... ;
    All is OK.
    After this I try :
    delete from My_table_name ;
    All is OK.
    But if I try to make:
    drop table My_table_name , Oracle reports that I can not drop this table ( the table is in use).
    Where is the problem?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You have created a session specific table which will only be dropped when you come out of the session. if you want to drop in the same session try using on commit delete rows that is the transaction specific table.

  • How create temporary table from list of values

    Can you anybody advise me how can I create temporary table from list of values? I have list of values and need create temporary table for next use with command JOIN etc.
    Thank you for help

    NO, you can not create temporary table in oracle on the fly ( Like #Tabels in SQl Server or Sybase ) , you will have to use the GTT i.e Global Temporary Tables
    check the following link GTT :
    to flush the tables after commit
    CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
      column1  NUMBER,
      column2  NUMBER
    ) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;In contrast, the ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS clause indicates that rows should be preserved until the end of the session.
    so to keep rows in Table after commit
    CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
      column1  NUMBER,
      column2  NUMBER
    ) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

    Informative thread indeed. Wish I saw it early enough. Managed to come up with the code below before I saw this thread.
    declare @TTName Table

  • How to remove a table from Replication

    Version: SQL 2008 R2
    Problem: I have a user who wants to remove table, but when she tries to remove it ( drop the table), she gets an error:
    ===========================================================
    MSG 3724, Level 16, State 2, Line 6: Cannot drop the table, 'dbo.<table name>' because it is being used for replication.
    MSG 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 2
    There is already an object named '<table name>' in the database.
    ============================================================
    To investigate, I saw the following:
    In the SSMS---> Replcation---> Local Publication--> [XYZ].Pub_XYZ
    [SERVER Name].[XYZ_Replication]
    Local Subscriptions:
    [Reference DB].[Server\Instance].[Instance Name]:ABC.ABC_TO_XYZ.Reference DB).
    How do I remove that table? Do I need to edit Replication? How? Which one?
    Thanks for your help.

    You need to reinitialize the subscription.
    If a subscription is not synchronized within the maximum distribution retention period (default of 72 hours) and there are changes in the distribution database that have not been delivered to the Subscriber, the subscription will be marked deactivated by the Distribution
    clean up job that runs on the Distributor. The subscription must be reinitialized.
    If a subscription is not synchronized within the publication retention period (default of 336 hours), the subscription will expire and be dropped by theExpired subscription clean up job that runs on the Publisher. The subscription must
    be recreated and synchronized.
    If a push subscription expires, it is completely removed, but pull subscriptions are not. You must clean up pull subscriptions at the Subscriber. For more information, see Delete
    a Pull Subscription.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

    How do you remove a folder from an itunes library once it's been added?

    When you delete the song, a menu will come up and ask you if you want to trash or keep the file. Select "keep file."   It will no longer be in your song list but it will remain on your harddrive. To add it back in use the --"add to library"--  command in the  drop down "File" Menu (you have to navigagte to where the song is stored on your hard drive and select it-- to add it back in.
    Re: it ended up in the wrong album
    If your songs are going in the wrong place go to the "Get Info" command and check the information under all the tabs (look at a song that's in the right album to see how it's listed) -- one or more of the boxes is incorrect or empty.  Just put  in the right information and close the info window. That should put it back in the right spot for you.

  • How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

    How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
    I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
    SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
    But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
    I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
    example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
    'X') from dual" with no luck.
    Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
    select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

  • Delete temporary tables from namespace /BI0/0W - Failed to delete BPC Dim

    Hi guys,
    we have a problem while trying to delete a BPC Dimension which is no more used in any Application.
    Dimension deletion fails because BW InfoObject deletion fails. From SLG1 we see there are some reference still in use.
    Data Element /B28/OIJ2D30F1 is used in a couple of tables (/BI0/0W00000231 and /BI0/0W00000233).
    These tables seems to be "where used list" tables.
    We found an OSS Note [1042921|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1042921] related to DB6.
    But it is not suitable: we are on ORACLE.
    Anyway it says:
    you may have to delete temporary tables from namespace /BI0/0W*, which also use the data element
    These are exactly our symptoms
    Does anyboy of you know how to delete this tables in /BI0/0W namespace?
    Package is blank
    SE11 -> Delete requires to register the object (created by BPC_ADMIN)
    Thanks in advance

    in the table ddd02l you can see the temporary table..
    TCode db02, you can ask your basis team to delete temp  table...you can see it 'under missing table and indexe'

  • Remove a Table from a mapping

    It is really monday,
    I can not seem to find how to remove a table from a mapping that was put there by accident.

  • How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

    That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
    If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content.  For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end.  Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists.  The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed.  Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod).  Click Music there.  To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with one or more songs selected.
    You can also use the iPod's "management" screen.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen.  In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music.  This is the same as on the "content list" described above.
