Syntax

DROP SERVICE service_name  
[ ; ]  

Arguments

service_name
The name of the service to drop. Server, database, and schema names cannot be specified.

Remarks

You cannot drop a service if any conversation priorities refer to it.

Dropping a service deletes all messages for the service from the queue that the service uses. [!INCLUDEssSB] sends an error to the remote side of any open conversations that use the service.

Permissions

Permission for dropping a service defaults to the owner of the service, members of the db_ddladmin or db_owner fixed database roles, and members of the sysadmin fixed server role.

Examples

The following example drops the service //Adventure-Works.com/Expenses.

DROP SERVICE [//Adventure-Works.com/Expenses] ;
