I need to create a file that removes (drops) all of your database objects.

A file?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

My guess is that if you don't know the SQL knowledge to accomplish this, then more than likely you also don't have the authority.

Try Peter's solution, if you want to get kicked in your ass by your boss! (that too without backup to add to excitement).

Or more simple way:

Drop Database database-name

What are you trying to achieve?
Dropping all tables in a database that are owned by a particular user?

Do you want a script that can be loaded into query analyser (v2000?) and run or a file that can be run via osql?

But I like my database objects. Why do you want to drop my objects? Why not drop your own?
