Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Delete a databse without using Oracle Console to do so
I need to delete a number of old DBs for which I do not have the
passwords (these are failed restore attempts of a customers DB). Since
I can not access them I want to remove the from Oracle 10G completely,
however I am finding it very difficult to find information on how to
delete an Oracle database outside of using the Oracle Console, deleting
the physical files associated with a DB is easy, but I still find that
Oracle thinks they exist and thus I can not reuse the SSID, I did at
one point find some information on how to destroy a DB, but I can not
find this anywhere now. Does anyone know how I can complete this task?
Thanks,
ERIC GANDT
