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.
Before you begin
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.
Procedure
- Start the Designer.
- In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view, click
on the schema repository where you want to delete the database.
- Click . The ClearQuest Database
Admin view opens.
- In the ClearQuest Database Admin view, right-click the
database you want to delete and click Remove.
- Click OK to complete the delete
operation.
Results
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 is not deleted, you can restore its link to the schema repository.
