When a database is no longer needed, it can be deleted from the server to release the space it is occupying.
Deleting a database is a two part process. It must first be removed from the RDBMS server and then from the Node Manager and its node location.
Please refer to the following resources for information on deleting a database from the RDBMS:
• pgAdmin documentation on the Windows Start menu
• http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
Further details on administration tasks in the RDBMS are also available upon request from CARIS Customer Service. |
Deleting a database in BDB Server requires it to be unregistered in the Node Manager and then physically deleted from the node location.
To delete a database:
1. Connect to the Node Manager.
2. Double-click the Database Properties icon in the Tools panel.
The Node Manager and its registered databases are listed.
Menu | Database > Stop |
Pop-up | Available Databases > selected database > Stop |
3. Select the database you want to unregister.
4. Select the Stop (database) command.
5. Select the Unregister database command.
Menu | Database > Unregister |
Pop-up | Available Databases > selected database > Unregister |
The database is unregistered and removed from the list of Available Databases.
6. Go to the node location directory of the database and delete the folder for the database that was unregistered.
The database is now deleted from the system.
