DROP SEARCH PROPERTY LIST (Transact-SQL)

property_list_name

Is the name of the search property list to be dropped. property_list_name is an identifier.

To view the names of the existing property lists, use the sys.registered_search_property_lists catalog view, as follows:

Copy

SELECT name FROM sys.registered_search_property_lists;

You cannot drop a search property list from a database while the list is associated with any full-text index, and attempts to do so fail. To drop a search property list from a given full-text index, use the ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX statement, and specify the SET SEARCH PROPERTY LIST clause with either OFF or the name of another search property list.

To view the property lists on a server instance

• sys.registered_search_property_lists (Transact-SQL)

To view the property lists associated with full-text indexes

• sys.fulltext_indexes (Transact-SQL)

To remove a property list from a full-text index

• ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX (Transact-SQL)

Requires CONTROL permission on the search property list.

Note
The property list owner can grant CONTROL permissions on the list. By default, the user who creates a search property list is its owner. The owner can be changed by using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION Transact-SQL statement.

The following example drops the JobCandidateProperties property list from the AdventureWorks database.

USE AdventureWorks;
GO
DROP SEARCH PROPERTY LIST JobCandidateProperties;
GO
