24.2. Deleting a Storage (metastore.remove_storage) #

Required privileges: Postgres Pro AXE administrator only. For more information about stored procedures and privileges, refer to Section 22.1.

Execute the following command:

  SELECT metastore.remove_storage('storage_name');

Where storage_name is the name of the storage to delete.

Postgres Pro AXE performs the following actions:

  1. Verifies input parameters and user privileges.

  2. Creates a new entry in the pga_snapshot metadata table and sets the end_snapshot value for the storage in the pga_storage metadata table.

  3. Sets the end_snapshot value for entries associated with the storage in other metadata tables.

Example 24.3. Executing the metastore.remove_storage stored procedure

  SELECT metastore.remove_storage('storage_example');
