If the database was created with the dbassist utility, I believe there is a button to
click to drop a database. In 8.1.5 it did not work very well, as I found it difficult
to
create a new database with the same name as the one I "deleted". There is a little
more to this than removing the datafiles, to really obliterate it from your system you
need to
remove all subdirectories with the instance name, modify the configuration files such
as oratab and listener.ora .

Hello all,
Sorry to ask what might be a dumb question, but a friend wants to drop a
test database (Solaris/Oracle 8.1.7) and I can't seem to find the right
command(s).
Would it be a series of alter database drop xxx?
Thanks for any help.
Woody
