Deleting a Database

Use the DELETE option to remove an entire database. If any tables still exist in the database to delete, those tables are deleted.

To remove a database using CXXMAINT DELETE, the database must not currently be open. If the database is open with no users, close the database, then issue the delete.

Note: A virtual database that is open cannot be closed, but it is subject to VIRTUAL_DELETE.
