SQL Admin Provider::DeleteDatabase

  • Article

The DeleteDatabase method allows you to delete a database on a SQL server. The database and files are immediately deleted.

Arguments

Input argument Required Description

Name

Yes

The name of the database to be deleted.

ServerName

Yes

A string representing the name of the server. This can be a NetBIOS name, a FQDN, or an IP address. It is vital that the server upon which MPS is running be able to resolve server names using whichever naming convention you employ.

[sqlUserName]

No

User name for connecting to the SQL server via SQL Authentication. If this node is present, the connection will be made via SQL Authentication rather than Windows Authentication. The existence of this node also requires that the <sqlUserPass/> node exist.

[sqlUserPass]

No

The password for connecting to the SQL server via SQL Authentication using the username indicated by <sqlUserName/>. If the <sqlUserName/> node is not present, this node is ignored.

Remarks

Rollback Calls

The DeleteDatabase method has no transaction rollback support.
