I have a 19c database which I would like to drop it using DBCA utility.
[[email protected] dbs]$ ps -ef|grep pmon
oracle 3943 1 0 09:28 ? 00:00:02 ora_pmon_cdb1
oracle 22864 20364 0 15:00 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto pmon
[[email protected] dbs]$If we cannot use GUI, we have this command instead:
dbca -silent -deleteDatabase -sourceDB TEST -sysDBAUserName sys -sysDBAPassword sys -forceArchiveLogDeletionLet’s see how it goes on my side:
[[email protected] dbs]$ dbca -silent -deleteDatabase -sourceDB $ORACLE_SID -sysDBAUserName sys -sysDBAPassword sys -forceArchiveLogDeletion
