Delete an AX company on SQL

This week, we were shrinking a database of a development environment by deleting some companies.
Here a nice little SQL statement that uses the sp_MSforeachtable stored procedure to delete all records of a specific company (CEU in this case) from all tables.
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable 'delete from ? where ?.DataAreaID = "CEU"'
Certainly fast(er than AX) and gets the job done.
Use at your own risk ;-)
Update:
You’ll want do do some cleaning up to:
delete the company id from the DataArea table and from the CompanyDomainList table
DELETE FROM DataArea WHERE DataArea.ID = 'CEU'
DELETE FROM CompanyDomainList WHERE CompanyDomainList.CompanyID = 'CEU'
Update 2:
When you want to delete all companies execpt a few (like DAT), just use this:
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable 'delete from ? where ?.DataAreaID <> "DAT" AND ?.DataAreaID <> "DEMO"'
DELETE FROM DataArea WHERE DataArea.ID <> 'DAT' AND DataArea.ID <> 'DEMO'
DELETE FROM CompanyDomainList WHERE CompanyDomainList.CompanyID <> 'DAT' AND CompanyDomainList.CompanyID <> 'DEMO'
This will delete all companies except DAT en DEMO.

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...

Passing values between form and class

Class name is EmplDuplication and Form is EmplTable . void clicked() {    MenuFunction mf;    args args = new Args();    ;     args.record(EmplTable);     mf = new menufunction(identifierstr(EmplDuplication), MenuItemType::Action); mf.run(args); } Meanwhile, in the main() method of the EmplDuplication class, we need to put this Axapta x++ code to get the datasource: static void main(Args args) {     EmplDuplication EmplDuplication; EmplTable localEmplTable; ;     if(args.record().TableId == tablenum(EmplTable)) localEmplTable = args.record();     ... }
