Delete a Database and All its Documents
You can delete an IDOL Content component database and all the documents that it contains either by sending a DREREMOVEDBASE action, or by using the IDOL Admin interface.
Delete a Database and All its Documents by Sending an Action
You can delete an IDOL Content component database and all the documents that it contains by sending a DREREMOVEDBASE action (case sensitive) from your Web browser:
http://ContentHost:indexPort/DREREMOVEDBASE?DREDbName=databaseName
where:
ContentHost
|
is the IP address or host name of the machine on which the IDOL Content component is installed. |
indexPort
|
is the IDOL Content component index port (specified as IndexPort in the [Server] section of the IDOL Content component configuration file). |
databaseName
|
is the name of the database that you want to delete. The documents in this database are deleted as well. |
For example:
http://MyHost:20001/DREREMOVEDBASE?DREDbName=Archive
This action uses port 20001
to delete the Archive
database and all documents that it contains from the IDOL Content component on the machine with host name MyHost
.
NOTE: This index action does not complete if the configuration file is read-only.
