    Posted: 07 April 2010 at 12:06pm
Hi

I need to remove a version of WWF from an old server, now i've transfered the site.
What's the best way to remove the tables.

I've tried simply running DROP TABLE but it runs into foreign key problems.

What are all the relationships in the DB?
Can i remove all of them before i delete the tables?

Thanks for your help

You need to remove the tables in the right order so that tables that are linked higher up and removed first.

However I usually just keep running the delete command against all the forum tables and it will slowly remove them all.
