How You Safely Uninstall Actian X
Removing Actian X is an irreversible event with pervasive effects. Any products or applications that share the removed DBMS Server are affected, as follows:
• Any future attempt to connect to this database will fail.
• If you re-install Actian X, you may not be able to reference the data files.
If you know you want to remove an Actian X instance, follow this process:
1. If you want to keep the data files for later use, you must run unloaddb against each database before removing Actian X. Doing so will allow you to reference the data files easily if you re-install Actian X later. For details on the unloaddb command, see the Database Administrator Guide and the Command Reference Guide.
2. If you do not want to keep the data files, you can run destroydb against each database before removing Actian X. The destroydb command locates and deletes all data files. For details on the destroydb command, see the Command Reference Guide.
3. Uninstall Actian X.
