Administrator's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Guide provides the information required to administer HCL OneDB™.
Disk, memory, and process management
Manage disk spaceYou can use several utilities and tools to manage disk spaces and the data that the database server controls.
Drop a storage spaceUse onspaces or ON-Monitor to drop a dbspace, temporary dbspace, blobspace, sbspace, temporary sbspace, or extspace.
Drop a storage space with onspaces

Drop a storage space with onspaces

To drop a storage space with onspaces, use the -d option as illustrated in the following examples.

This example drops a dbspace called dbspce5 and its mirrors.

onspaces -d dbspce5

This example drops a dbspace called blobsp3 and its mirrors.

onspaces -d blobsp3

Use the -d option with the -f option if you want to drop an sbspace that contains data. If you omit the -f option, you cannot drop an sbspace that contains data. This example drops an sbspace called sbspc4 and its mirrors.

onspaces -d sbspc4 -f

Warning: If you use the -f option, the tables in the database server might have dead pointers to the deleted smart large objects.

For information about dropping a storage space with onspaces, see information about the onspaces utility in the HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Reference.
