this script cleans all views, SPS, functions PKs, FKs and tables.

The best thing to do it is "Generate scripts for Drop"
Select Database -> Right Click -> Tasks -> Generate Scripts - will open wizard for generating scripts
after choosing objects in set Scripting option click Advanced Button
-> Set option 'Script to create' to true (want to create)
-> Set option 'Script to Drop' to true (want to drop)
-> Select the Check box to select objects wish to create script
-> Select the choice to write script (File, New window, Clipboard)
It includes dependent objects by default.(and will drop constraint at first)
Execute the script
This way we can customize our script.
