Uninstalling the Content Repository

- Content Repository -
- -

The content repository includes an uninstall script, -sql/content-drop.sql. This script does two things:

- -
    -
  1. Drops the attribute storage tables for all content types you have - defined. -
  2. Drops the general tables for the content repository. -
- -

The uninstall script does not do the following:

- -
    -
  1. It does not delete rows from the acs_objects - table. Many other tables reference the object_id - column in this table, so there is the possibility that the - uninstall script will encounter foreign key reference errors. - -
  2. It does not delete types from the - acs_object_types table. As for objects themselves, it - is impossible for an automatic script to properly handle - disposal of all foreign key references. -
- -

Because of what the uninstall script does not do, it is only -appropriate for removing the content repository in preparation for -removing the entire ACS Objects data model. If you wish to -upgrade an existing installation and cannot afford to lose your data, -you must run an upgrade script rather than uninstalling the entire -data model.
