OrientDB-NET - DropDatabase()

This method removes a database from the OrientDB Server. It returns no value.

Removing Databases

To remove a database from the server, you need to call the DropDatabase() method on the OServer instance.

Syntax

void OServer.DropDatabase(
   string <name>,
   OStorageType <storage>)

• <name> Defines the name of the database you want to remove.
• <storage> Defines the storage type of the database.

Example

For instance, say you have an application that requires you to periodically reset databases, removing all records then initializing a new instance.

public void cleanDatabases(OServer server, string[] databaseNames)
{
   // LOOP OVER DATABASE NAMES ARRAY
   foreach(string name in databaseNames)
   {
      // REMOVE EXISTING DATABASE
      server.DropDatabase(name, OStorageType.Memory);

      // CREATE NEW DATABASE
      bool createdDb = server.CreateDatabase(name,
         ODatabaseType.Graph, OStorageType.Memory);

      // TEST
      Assert.IsTrue(createDb);
   }
}
