This function takes a pattern to be searched for, a string that the pattern will be removed from and a flag to determine whether all instances of the pattern should be removed.This is sort of an expanded version of a function I wrote to remove multiple spaces from a string.

These four scripts list concise information about all Default, Check, Unique, Foreign Key, and Primary Key constraints for the database in which they are run. With minor column modifications, they could easily be unioned to provide a single list. The usual caveat applies about directly accessing system tables. They may change in future versions and/or […]
