Deleting a user database

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:

  1. Start the Designer. If the Open Schema pane opens, click Cancel.
  2. Click Database > Delete Database.
  3. 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.
