Question

I keep getting this error everytime I try to delete a user from the database :

1. Expand the database
2. Expand Security
3. Expand Users
4. Right-click ‘username’ then select Delete

The following error occurs :

Drop failed for User ‘username’. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Additional Information:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.

CONDITIONAL failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: ‘ARITHABORT’.
Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1934)

Has anyone encountered this before?

Answer 1

I am not sure if this is supposed to be a fix, but it does work for the moment.
Just run this on the DB :

SET ARITHABORT ON
DROP USERNAME
SET ARITHABORT OFF
