Delete PeopleSoft Query From the Database

There could be different reasons why a PeopleSoft developer would like to delete a query from the database. Upgrade clean up would probably be the most common one. Here is a function you can use to get you started.

Function DeleteQuery(&sQueryName As string)
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYDEFN WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYSELECT WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYRECORD WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYFIELD WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYFIELDLANG WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYCRITERIA WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYEXPR WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYBIND WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYBINDLANG WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   /*Below tables are not availabe in older PS versions*/
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYSTATS  WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYEXECLOG WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
   SQLExec("DELETE FROM PSQRYFAVORITES WHERE QRYNAME=:1", &sQueryName);
End-Function;

Of course, deleting by Query Name is not the only available option. So, feel free to modify the function to fit your needs.

Well, that depends on what you want to do. You can use the function behind a link on a page or you can call it from an Application Engine to delete queries in batch mode.

Or you can do that and much more from PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > Query Administration
