Emmanuel:

Thanks for the info on the initialize command.

If I stop the controllers and delete all tables from
both the virtual database and the recovery log database,
will that have the same effect?

Thanks,
        Neil

The best way is to use the 'initialize' command and re-populate the 
cluster from a selected node. This is similar to the cluster 
initialization procedure or procedure to recover from a complete cluster 
outage

No, you need to cleanup the virtual database recovery log. This is what 
the 'initialize' command does basically.
You can drop the recovery log database manually if you wish to do that 
manually.

Hope this helps,
Emmanuel
