Removes a Reality database from the system.
rmdbase database
database The host path-name (absolute or relative) of the database to be removed.
Use of rmdbase is restricted to the database owner and, on UNIX, super-user.
If you are using Database Isolation, you must use realroot to select required instance of Reality before running rmdbase.
rmdbase removes the top directory, together with all files under it, from the system.
Caution
Once rmdbase is executed, the database is permanently removed from the system. It cannot be recovered, other than from back-up tapes.
Because the rmdbase operation is so final, a cautionary message prompt is displayed first.
To remove the database dbase1 from the directory /usr/accounts, change directory to /usr/accounts, then enter:
rmdbase dbase1
The system responds with
CAUTION: This will remove database dbase1 Are you sure you wish to remove it?
Enter n at this stage if
you wish to abort the operation. If you still wish to remove the database, enter
y.
