**APPLIES TO:** ![yes](media/yes.png)SQL Server (starting with 2012) ![no](media/no.png)Azure SQL Database ![no](media/no.png)Azure SQL Data Warehouse ![no](media/no.png)Parallel Data Warehouse

Drops a property list from the current database if the search property list is currently not associated with any full-text index in the database.

Syntax

  
DROP SEARCH PROPERTY LIST property_list_name  
;

Arguments

property_list_name
Is the name of the search property list to be dropped. property_list_name is an identifier.

To view the names of the existing property lists, use the sys.registered_search_property_lists catalog view, as follows:

SELECT name FROM sys.registered_search_property_lists;

Remarks

You cannot drop a search property list from a database while the list is associated with any full-text index, and attempts to do so fail. To drop a search property list from a given full-text index, use the ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX statement, and specify the SET SEARCH PROPERTY LIST clause with either OFF or the name of another search property list.

To view the property lists on a server instance

sys.registered_search_property_lists (Transact-SQL)

To view the property lists associated with full-text indexes

sys.fulltext_indexes (Transact-SQL)

To remove a property list from a full-text index

ALTER FULLTEXT INDEX (Transact-SQL)

Permissions

Requires CONTROL permission on the search property list.

[!NOTE]
The property list owner can grant CONTROL permissions on the list. By default, the user who creates a search property list is its owner. The owner can be changed by using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION Transact\-SQL statement.

Examples

The following example drops the JobCandidateProperties property list from the AdventureWorks2012 database.
