How to delete database using sql

I have to delete some databases from oracle 8i. I tried it using the Database Configuration Assistant and I get stuck indefinately as the message always says connecting but nothing happens.
How can I delete databases using sql not thru the DCA?
Thanks

files related to the database and follow these steps:
1.- shutdown the database
2.- Delete all files ( Control Files, .dbf, Redo's, Archive�s, parameter file, password file )
3.- Delete the entrance of this database from
listener.ora and from tnsnames.ora files.
and that's it.

  • How to backup database using sql query?

    Hello,i'm student, i'm researching oracle database,i want to backup database that using sql query (like backup query in SQL SERVER) ,how to do that ??
    Thank!

    No, database backups cannot be done from within the database.
    Commands for backups are outside of the database.
    See the "2 Day DBA Guide" http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10897/toc.htm
    and the "Backup and Recovery Users's (actually Adminsitrator's) Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/toc.htm

    HI, Welcome to OTN form,
    SHUTDOWN is not a SQL statement but a SQL*Plus command . You cannot use SHUTDOWN in PL/SQL.
    Check following link:

  • From SharePoint Content Database, Using SQL-Server Query how to fetch the 'Document GUID' based on 'Content Type'

    I want to get all the documents based on content type using SQL Server Query. I know that, querying the content database without using API is not advisable, but still i want to perform this action through SQL Server Query. Can someone assist ?

    You're right, it's not advisable, may result in corruption of your databases and might impact performance and stability. But assuming you're happy to do that then it is possible.
    Before you go down that route, have you considered using something more safe like PowerShell? I've seen a script exactly like the one you describe and it would take far less time to do it through PS than it would through SQL.

  • How  to access database in Sql Server 7.0 using Java

    I am trying to access a database in SQL Server 7.0 using JDBC.But it is giving me errors.I have used following statements to connect the database
    private String URL = "jdbc:odbc:DatabaseName";
    private String userName="user";
    private String passWord="password";
    Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.SQLServerDriver" );
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection( URL,userName,"passWord" );
    where "username" and "password" are user Name and password respectively to access the database in SQL Server 7.0.

    I am sorry but I have written like;
    private String URL = "jdbc:odbc:DatabaseName";
    private String userName="user";
    private String passWord="password";
    Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver" );
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection( URL,userName,"passWord" );
    where "username" and "password" are user Name and password respectively to access the database in SQL Server 7.0. And I have used the same name in "ODBC data source" as that of the database.I am trying some examples from book and these examples just work fine with MS Access( I created those databases in Access and tried the examples) but not with SQL Server 7.0. Do I need a separate driver or something?

  • How to numberformat when using sql:query alogn with c:forEach JSTL tags

    Is there anyway to format the numeric values returned from the database when using <sql:query> alogn with <c:forEach> tags
    Here is my jsp code
    <sql:query..../>
    <c:forEach var="row" items="${queryResults.rows}">
    <tr>
    <td><c:out value="${row.COL1}" /></td>
    <td><c:out value="${row.COL2}" /></td>
    </tr>
    </c:forEach>
    Col1 values are numeric without any formats Eg: 1000, 10000, 1000000 etc.
    how can i format them to 1,000 , 10,1000 , 100,000 etc

    It is polite to mention what your answer was. These posts are not just here for you to ask questions, but to be used as a resource for other people to find answers. Saying "I solved it" with no details helps noone.
    I presume you discovered the JSTL <fmt:formatNumber> tag?
