Dropping a Shadow

Go Up to Shadowing


To stop shadowing, use the shadow number as an argument to the DROP SHADOW statement. For example,

SQL> DROP SHADOW 1

Important:
DROP SHADOW deletes shadow references from a database’s metadata, as well as the physical files on disk. Once the files have been removed from disk, there is no opportunity to recover them.
