If you feel the need to delete everything - related to the service, you can also issue the following:
SVRMGR> drop tablespace $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME including contents cascade constraints;+ related to the service, you can also issue the following:
SVRMGR> drop tablespace $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME including contents cascade constraints;Dropping a PostgreSQL tablespace is easy. You have to stop any AOLserver instances that are using the database that you wish to drop. If you're using daemontools, this is simple, just use the 'down' flag (-d). If you're using inittab, you have to comment out - your server in /etc/inittab, - reread the inittab with /sbin/init - q, and then restart-aolserver - $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME.
Then, to drop the db, just do:
-[$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME ~]$ dropdb $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME + your server in/etc/inittab, + reread the inittab with/sbin/init + q, and thenrestart-aolserver + $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME.Then, to drop the db, just do:
