DROP DATABASE |

Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate | Its currently possible to have multiple databases pointing to the same catalog / data. DROPping any one of them without the KEEP CONTENTS clause will zap the data.
Suggestion (since I'm guessing the reason for allowing multiple databases to point to the same data is to allow different privileges to be set) - prevent the data being zapped until only one database points to it. Roy Lambert |

It would also prevent you from copying the contents of a database around using the file system (provided that you know what you're doing and copy everything). So, the definite answer on this one is "no can do". -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

It took me a few moments to sus that. I'd forgotten you can have multiple configuration files - sorry. Roy Lambert |
