Re: Command line utility to delete database on Solaris.

No command line utility, but have you looked at the DBCA? From there, you can delete a database. Of course, being on Unix, I just manually remove the datafiles, control files, password file, and config file(s) and then I modify listener.ora (if applicable) and oratab.
