FBIRD_DROP_DB

Purpose

Use the fbird_drop_db function to permanently remove a database from the server.

Syntax

<drop_db> ::=
   fbird_drop_db( conn_hndl )

Element 

Type

Description

conn_hndl

resource

A valid connection handle

<return>

bool

True on success, False on failure

Semantics

This function permanently wipes out a database, erasing its data, metadata, and all of its supporting files, such as secondary files and shadow files. To succeed there must be no other connections to this database, not from PHP and not from non-PHP clients.

The database is identified by a connection handle, as returned from fbird_connect or fbird_pconnect. In order to succeed, the user credentials used for this connection must be of SYSDBA or of the owner (creator) of this database.

This function would typically be used to remove a temporary database. It returns True if it succesfully removed the database, and False if it failed. As a side effect, the connection handle is closed.

Example

The below example drops database 'mydb.fdb':

$conn = fbird_open('mydb.fdb', 'sysdba', 'masterkey');
if ((fbird_drop_db($conn)) == True) {
   echo 'Database deleted';
}
else {
   echo 'Deletion failed. Other connections active?';
}
