How secured is deleting db using DBCA

Dear all,
Am planning to convert a single node DB to RAC..
in the note,it is mentioned to create a DBCA template of the single node DB (with data and structure) and delete the existing DB using DBCA and create a RAC DB using DBCA and using the template created earlier ?
Can I rely on this ?
Please suggest
Kai

Hello,
DBCA takes care of everything while deleting instance whereas in manually you have to run several steps. I also like using drop database which generally take care of everything too (little skeptical about deleting datafiles but I think it deletes datafiles) as well.
See following links how to use drop database and database should be in restrict mode before dropping it

    Delete and redownload that application when signed into the correct Apple ID. This may require repurchasing it.

  • How do i delete songs using iTunes from macbook pro

    i synced my iphones to a new i tunes library and now i have three unwated songs how do i delete them?

    "Ok- but what if I want to manually manage the songs and podcasts on my iPhone and somehow loose access to the computer which I used to put said songs and podcasts on the iPhone in the first place?"
    The you would ned to use the backup copy of tht computer to put everything on the new computer.
    "  Is there a way in which I can manage/delete the content on the iPhone using my new computer without retoring it to factory settings and starting all over again?"
    You do not have to restore it, but you cannot access the music at all from this other computer until you sync it, which will erase the content.
    "And just to clarify: I don't have any problems with playing the content that remains on my iPhone, it's just the managing and deleting of this content."
    I understand completely.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • Delete database using DBCA

    Hello,
    We have two database one is the old one we want to delete, I'm using the DBCA to delete the old database, but when I've selected the old one to delete, I'm getting the error message ORA-01092, and I've seen the oracle instance service for this database is running.
    My question is:
    should be run the instance oracle service from the database I want to delete?
    can be the oracle error ora-01092 because when we did the change to the new database, at the same time we did the upgrade from oracle 10.2.0.3. to 10.2.0.4, and now the old database should be upgraded too although I want to delete it. Because we only did the startup upgrade from the new one.
    Regards,
    Bea.

    Bea.You fail to mention your OS, but since you talk about "instance service" I assume you are on Windows, and you are talking about the Windows service that supports the instance.
    Have you actually followed through on the usual problem resolution for the reported error? Don't just guess at what causes it in relation to your situation. It's still a well-documented error and the usual possibilities are still in play.
    BTW, just because the Windows service is running doesn't mean the database instance is running. In windows, the service is necessary but not sufficient. Go to an OS command prompt. Set ORACLE_SID to the correct value for the instance you want to drop. Do a "sqlplus / as sysdba" and see what you get. Just as a learning experience, once there do a 'shutdown immediate'. When that completes go back to the services control panel and look at the stats of the service. It should still be running.

  • How do I delete previously used email addresses?

    I used an email once and now I can't get rid of it...  When I am composing a message and type the beginning of an address it comes up and it is not in my contacts.  How do I clear the email cache? Have not been able to find a way to get rid of it.

    Apple’s Mail program stashes away a list of previously used addresses to help speed up your e-mail chores, but it saves these addresses whether they are correct or not. Fortunately, it’s possible to open up the list and weed out all the unwanted, outdated or incorrect addresses at one sitting.
    To do so, open the Mail program, go to the Window menu and choose Previous Recipients. The Previous Recipients window opens with a sortable list of the names and e-mail addresses of people you have corresponded with in the past, as well as the date of when the address was last used. Click the Name, E-mail or Last Used bar at the top of the column to sort the list on your preferred criteria.
    To remove someone from the Previous Recipients list so that Mail won’t try to auto-complete the address, click on the entry to select it and then click the Remove From List button in the bottom left corner of the window. You can select multiple entries at once by holding down the Mac’s Command key to highlight several addresses as you go. Click the Remove From List button to zap all the selected addresses at once.
    If you find a contact that you’d like to officially add to the Mac’s Address Book program, select it and click the Add to Address Book button in the bottom right corner of the window.

  • How to delete term using powershell?

    Hello
    I want to delete a particular term from termstore. I dont have termset name. Without termset name how can I delete term using powershell?
    Avi

    If you don't know the termset net it makes it tricky.
    In theory if you know the name of the term you could look through all termsets to find it. The catch of course is to ensure there is only one instance of the term otherwise you may delete terms you need.

  • How secure is iPad when travelling?

    I plan to take my WiFi only iPad 2 with me for about three weeks of travel.  How secure will I be using free hotel, or Starbucks, or airport WiFi networks?

    There's no need to worry yourself over things like this, unless the information is highly confidential...
    Few incidents occur where someone will actually bother to log onto a public network and then hack into others' computers/devices in order to gain access to information such as credit card numbers etc... computer viruses and trojans are much better designed for this kind of job.
    If security really is a concern, consider using a VPN to access the internet after you have connected to a network.

  • How secure is hotspot

    Hello,    My wifi provider is no longer viable and I'm debating whether to just use my iPhone5 hotspot and increase my data plan or look for another internet provider.  I'm concerned with security as I do alot of financial/banking online.  How secure is my connection using the hotspot???  Thanks, all info/comments will be greatly appreciated.

    you should worry more about data leaking at the fibre optic between-datacenters level, or direct hacking of the bank websites, rather than your hotspots.
