Deleting a user database from the Rational® ClearQuest® environment
removes the link between the schema repository and the user database. The
physical database is not deleted, nor is the schema associated with it.
You can restore a deleted database at a later date by restoring the
link between the database and the schema repository. The link to a deleted
database is permanently lost if you delete the schema version associated with
the database or if you upgrade to a newer version of
Rational ClearQuest.
You cannot delete a schema repository.
To delete a user database:
- Start the Designer. If
the Open Schema pane opens, click Cancel.
- Click .
- In the Delete Database window, select
the database to delete and click Delete.
After you delete a user database, you can delete
the physical database. To delete an IBM® DB2®, Oracle or a Microsoft® SQL Server database, use
your database vendor tools. For Microsoft Access databases, remove
the database files manually.
If the physical database has not been deleted,
you can restore its link to the schema repository.
