drop database vs. dbca delete database
571482Apr 30 2008 — edited Jan 7 2009So I'd like to delete this database: control files, datafiles, log files, spfiles, everything. leave no trace.
I can use good old sqlplus and run "drop database;", or I can use DBCA and do "delete database".
What is the difference?
Documentation clearly explains what "drop database" will do, but it does not explain what DBCA is doing (maybe just running drop database behind the curtains?).
