In this article, I am going to explain how you can create and drop a database, using C#.
Creating database
This class is the control class, through which we are going to call the helper methods.
- class Program
- {
- private static ExecuteSql _executeMaster;
- private static string _connectionString = "Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=testme;Application Name=Manager.Test;Connection Timeout=300;
- User ID = sa;
- Password = password;
- ";
- private static string _masterDatabaseName = "master";
- static void Main(string[] args)
- {
- _executeMaster = new ExecuteSql(openConnectionToMaster);
- createDatabase("testme");
- Console.WriteLine("done");
- Console.ReadLine();
- }
- private static SqlConnection openConnectionToMaster()
- {
- var connectionStringBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(_connectionString);
- connectionStringBuilder.InitialCatalog = _masterDatabaseName;
- var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionStringBuilder.ConnectionString);
- conn.Open();
- return conn;
- }
- private static void createDatabase(string databaseName)
- {
-
- if (!Exists(databaseName))
- {
- try
- {
- var script = File.ReadAllText("CreateDB.sql");
- script = ReplaceScriptTags(script, databaseName);
- _executeMaster.ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(script, 10800);
- } catch (Exception exception)
- {
- string msg = exception.StackTrace;
- }
- }
- }
- private static string ReplaceScriptTags(string script, string name)
- {
- script = script.Replace("$(DBNAME)", name);
- return script;
- }
- public static bool Exists(string databaseName)
- {
- return
- Convert.ToBoolean(_executeMaster.ExecuteScalar("SELECT database_id FROM sys.databases WHERE Name = @databaseName", parameters: new Dictionary & lt; string, object & gt; {
- {
- "@databaseName",
- databaseName
- }
- }));
- }
- public static void Drop(string databaseName)
- {
- _executeMaster.ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(string.Format("DROP DATABASE [{0}]", databaseName), 120);
- }
- public static void SetOnline(string databaseName)
- {
- _executeMaster.ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(string.Format("ALTER DATABASE [{0}] SET ONLINE", databaseName));
- }
- }
This class is the helper class being used. We will use this class to execute the script.
- public class ExecuteSql
- {
- private readonly Func & lt;
- SqlConnection & gt;
- _openConnection;
- public ExecuteSql(Func & lt; SqlConnection & gt; openConnection)
- {
- _openConnection = openConnection;
- }
- public void ExecuteCustom(Action & lt; SqlConnection & gt; action)
- {
- using(var connection = _openConnection())
- {
- action(connection);
- }
- }
- public int ExecuteScalar(string sql, int timeout = 30, IDictionary & lt; string, object & gt; parameters = null)
- {
- parameters = parameters ? ? new Dictionary & lt;
- string, object & gt;
- ();
- var result = 0;
- using(var connection = _openConnection())
- {
- using(var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction())
- {
- using(var command = connection.CreateCommand())
- {
- command.Transaction = transaction;
- foreach(var parameter in parameters)
- {
- command.Parameters.AddWithValue(parameter.Key, parameter.Value);
- }
- command.CommandTimeout = timeout;
- {
- command.CommandText = sql;
- command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
- result = (int)(command.ExecuteScalar() ? ?
- default (int));
- }
- transaction.Commit();
- }
- }
- }
- return result;
- }
- public void ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(string sql, int timeout = 30)
- {
- using(var connection = _openConnection())
- {
- using(var command = connection.CreateCommand())
- {
- command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
- command.CommandTimeout = timeout;
- command.CommandText = sql;
- command.ExecuteNonQuery();
- }
- }
- }
- public void ExecuteNonQuery(string sql, int timeout = 30, IDictionary & lt; string, object & gt; parameters = null)
- {
- parameters = parameters ? ? new Dictionary & lt;
- string, object & gt;
- ();
- using(var connection = _openConnection())
- {
- using(var transaction = connection.BeginTransaction())
- {
- using(var command = connection.CreateCommand())
- {
- command.Transaction = transaction;
- command.CommandTimeout = timeout;
- {
- command.Parameters.Clear();
- foreach(var parameter in parameters)
- {
- if (sql.Contains(parameter.Key))
- {
- command.Parameters.AddWithValue(parameter.Key, parameter.Value);
- }
- }
- command.CommandText = sql;
- command.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
- command.ExecuteNonQuery();
- }
- transaction.Commit();
- }
- }
- }
- }
- }
This is the script file that is used to create the script. The script is well commented, so that you can see the details of the Application. You need to place this script in a file, called CreateDB.sql and save it in the current directory.

Dropping database
Now this time, we will drop a DB. I have divided the code into two classes. Let's see them in detail.
The first class is the control class through which we will call the helpers. In the code, given below, first, we will try to connect to the master DB. In the drop database method, we need to check if the DB exists or not and if it does, we will need to set the DB online. The reason to set the DB online is when you drop the DB, the file on the disk will also be deleted.
- class Program
- {
- private static ExecuteSql _executeMaster;
- private static string _connectionString = "Data Source=.;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=testme;Application Name=Manager.Test;Connection Timeout=300;
- User ID = sa;
- Password = password;
- ";
- private static string _masterDatabaseName = "master";
- static void Main(string[] args)
- {
- _executeMaster = new ExecuteSql(openConnectionToMaster);
- dropDatabase("testme");
- Console.WriteLine("done");
- Console.ReadLine();
- }
- private static SqlConnection openConnectionToMaster()
- {
- var connectionStringBuilder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(_connectionString);
- connectionStringBuilder.InitialCatalog = _masterDatabaseName;
- var conn = new SqlConnection(connectionStringBuilder.ConnectionString);
- conn.Open();
- return conn;
- }
- private static void dropDatabase(string databaseName)
- {
- if (Exists(databaseName))
- {
- SetOnline(databaseName);
- _executeMaster.ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(string.Format("ALTER DATABASE [{0}] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;", databaseName));
- Drop(databaseName);
- }
- }
- public static bool Exists(string databaseName)
- {
- return
- Convert.ToBoolean(_executeMaster.ExecuteScalar("SELECT database_id FROM sys.databases WHERE Name = @databaseName", parameters: new Dictionary & lt; string, object & gt; {
- {
- "@databaseName",
- databaseName
- }
- }));
- }
- public static void Drop(string databaseName)
- {
- _executeMaster.ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(string.Format("DROP DATABASE [{0}]", databaseName), 120);
- }
- public static void SetOnline(string databaseName)
- {
- _executeMaster.ExecuteTransactionlessNonQuery(string.Format("ALTER DATABASE [{0}] SET ONLINE", databaseName));
- }
- }
Now, you need to replace the user Id and password.
