Hi,

The problem with the following technique you listed is that it requires 
the dbm login to be working on the database you want to drop, which won't 
work if the DB is only partly created.

Thank you,

Hi 
I only can give an answer on your first question.
I do it as shown below (Win2000!):


dbmcli -d %SID% -u dbm,dbm db_offline > NUL 
dbmcli -d %SID% -u dbm,dbm db_drop > NUL

Check the registry after and delete all that garbage.

Cheers

Subject: 2qs: dropping half-made DBs and alternative authentication

Hi,

I have two quick questions:

1.) I am somehow sure I have seen this answered before, but I was unable

to find it on the mailing list archives (Maybe it should be added to the

help?)  If you create a DB and it fails for one reason or another (no
dba 
passwd, not enough space for system tables, etc.).  How can you drop the

DB if you are unable to log into it? 

2.) I was asked by people here to verify wether or not SAPDB is able to 
use LDAP or w2k ActiveDirectory Authentication instead of it's internal 
authentication mechanisms.  Of course they would like this to avoid 
duplicating administrative overhead, and to prevent users from having to

remember multiple passwords.  Unfortinately, I assume this would be
listed 
in the documentation if it were possible.

Thank you,
