AW: Cannot Drop Database Instance on 7.5.

[Florian Schmitz]

MessageHello Mark,

the File says :

[Databases]
.M750015=/opt/sdb/7500
DBA2=/opt/sdb/7500

Where DBA2 is another instance which is still in use.
I don't know what .m750015 is. There's no instance like that.
The Instance to be dropped has the name DBA1.

  Try looking in the file /var/opt/sdb/data/config/Databases.ini for a line
that says <dbname>=/opt/sdb/7500 or something like that.  Edit the file, and
delete that line.  See if that helps.

      It would be most helpful to know what platform the database is on.
The steps you take next depend on it.
