Bulk Removal of Objects

You can use the JADE Database Administration utility (jdbadmin) PurgePartition action to efficiently delete the objects stored in a specified partition.

The main purpose of the PurgePartition action is to ensure that inversed references in the active model no longer refer to objects in the partition, so that the partition can be removed.

The PurgePartition action provides a mechanism that efficiently deletes all of the objects (including subobjects) stored in the partition as a bulk operation, in order to maintain referential integrity. The end result of executing a purge is equivalent to deleting each object in the partition without incurring the overhead of deleting the objects individually.

All of the database-level work performed to delete an object in the partition being purged, including file maintenance and auditing, will be skipped entirely.

Conversely, inverse maintenance operations that occur as side-effects of the deletes that affect active objects will be processed and audited normally.
