Deleting a Database System

Delete an OCI Database with PostgreSQL database system.

Deleting a database system doesn't automatically delete its backups. Existing automatic backups for database system are retained until they expire. Existing manual backups for database system are retained until you delete them.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Databases. Under PostgreSQL, click DB Systems.
    2. (Optional) In the List scope section, under Compartment, select a compartment.
    3. Click the name of the database system that you want to delete.
    4. On the DBSystem details page, click More actions and choose Delete.
    5. In the Delete database window, type "Delete" and click Confirm delete.

  • Use the oci psql db-system delete command and required parameters to move a database system:

    oci psql db-system delete --db-system-id <database_OCID> [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the DeleteDbSystem operation to delete a database system.
