Hi,

Is it possbile to delete SQL users (in bulk) in EPiServer. I can delete one by one but we have a lot of inactive users which I want to delete in bulk.

May be some sql query ?

You could do it in a SQL query for sure but if it's an ongoing problem and you want to delete regularlly inactive users I'd suggest just build a scheduled job and doing it via code.

Thanks for your reply

Do you have any query to do it ?

It will not be an ongoing problem as we are moving to AD and no user would be create directly in EPiServer DB.

It's just SQL Membership, this is the structure to delete a single user by the unique identifer of the user. So just write a SQL script to pull the users out based on whatever criteria you want and run this for each

DECLARE @UserId uniqueidentifier
SET @UserId = 'GUID_for_UserId'
DELETE FROM aspnet_Profile WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_UsersInRoles WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_PersonalizationPerUser WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM dbo.aspnet_Membership WHERE UserID = @UserId
DELETE FROM aspnet_users WHERE UserID = @UserId

If you want a DELETE with a WHERE clause: this is standard SQL.

What you can do is batch deletes like this:

SELECT 'Starting' --sets @@ROWCOUNT WHILE @@ROWCOUNT <> 0 DELETE TOP (xxx) MyTable WHERE ...

Or if you want to remove a very high percentage of rows...

SELECT col1, col2, ... INTO #Holdingtable
           FROM MyTable WHERE ..opposite condition.
TRUNCATE TABLE MyTable
INSERT MyTable (col1, col2, ...)
           SELECT col1, col2, ... FROM #Holdingtable

Is there any way to do it via UI / admin site ?
