Procedure documentationDeleting Data Volumes Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The database system saves the data of a database permanently in data volumes (data area). You can delete data volumes to reduce the size of the data area.

The system distributes the data from the deleted data volume throughout the remaining data volumes, deletes the data volume, and then releases the resources that were previously in use. Data volumes of the FILE type are deleted from the file system.

Note Note

The last data volume cannot be deleted.

End of the note.
