Deleting databases

Rational® Synergy databases are a combination of file system and RDBMS data. Therefore, you must remove databases using the ccmdb delete command so that both the file system and metadata are removed.

If a Rational Synergy database was accidentally removed with a del command, see:

Windows: ccmdb drop

UNIX on Informix®: ccmdb drop

UNIX on Oracle: ccmdb drop

Windows
