delete

The delete command enables you to delete test data or unwanted data in all user database files or selected files specified in the optional [file-list] argument.

If you delete a test database file and you subsequently start creating new instances of the data, the test database file is recreated.

You can delete user database files only; you cannot delete system database files.

When you specify the delete command, you cannot also specify the certify, compact, freeSpace, reindex, or resetTS command in the jdbutilb command line.

The syntax of the delete command in the jdbutilb command line is as follows.

jdbutilb path=database-path
         ini=initialization-file-name
         delete [file-list]
