- Description
- </title>
- <para>
- <application>destroydb</application> destroys an existing
- <productname>Postgres</productname> database.
- The person who executes this command must be
- the database administrator, or <acronym>DBA</acronym>,
- or must be the <productname>Postgres</productname> super-user.
- The program runs silently; no confirmation message will be displayed.
- After the database is destroyed, a Unix shell prompt will reappear.
- </para>
- <para>
- All references to
- the database are removed, including the directory containing this
- database and its associated files.
- </para>
- <para>
- <application>destroydb</application> is a shell script that invokes
- <application>psql</application>.
- Hence, a <application>postmaster</application>
- process must be running on the database server host before
- <application>destroydb</application>
- is executed. The
- <envar>PGOPTION</envar>
- and
- <envar>PGREALM</envar>
- environment variables will be passed on to
- <application>psql</application>
- and processed as described in <xref endterm="psql-ref"
- linkend="app-psql">.
