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.
