(All those sys tables for one thing) Do I need to keep those around?

Yes, you need the system tables - they contain the metadata that keeps SQL Server running. You wouldn't want to remove the table that defines all the columns in the database would you? Or the table that contains the permissions for who can access what?


Kluch wrote:
I can't seem to remove the user dbo

dbo = DataBase Owner and cannot be removed. IIRC, Any user with admin rights is automatically the dbo. All objects that everyone has access to should be created as dbo because then things get really confused. As a standard many organisations have a rule that the dbo owns everything - this improves efficiency and removes confusion when security come in to play. If you start having lots of users owning lots of different things then security and access rights are hell to manage.

All my books seem to skim right through this stuff.....

I would suggest that only the sa (system administrator) user should be modifying the database at this level. If you take that advice then there isn't much to do - so skim right on through.
