From InterBase

Go Up to Statement and Function Reference (Language Reference Guide)


Deletes a shadow from a database. Available in gpre, DSQL, and isql.

DROP SHADOW <set_num>;
Important:
In SQL statements passed to DSQL, omit the terminating semicolon. In embedded applications written in C and C++, and in isql, the semicolon is a terminating symbol for the statement, so it must be included.
Argument Description

<set_num>

Positive integer to identify an existing shadow set

Description: DROP SHADOW deletes a shadow set and detaches from the shadowing process. The isql SHOW DATABASE command can be used to see shadow set numbers for a database.

A shadow can be dropped by its creator, the SYSDBA user, or any user with operating system root privileges.

Example: The following isql statement deletes a shadow set from its database:

DROP SHADOW 1;
