New Features Adaptive Server® Enterprise 12.5.3a

Drop database

To prevent accidental loss of keys, Adaptive Server fails drop database if it contains keys currently used to encrypt columns in other databases. Before dropping the database containing the encryption keys you must first remove the encryption or drop the database containing the encrypted columns.

In the following example key_db is the database where the encryption key resides and col_db is the database containing the encrypted columns:

drop database key_db, col_db

Adaptive Server raises an error and fails to drop key_db. The drop of col_db succeeds. To drop both databases, drop col_db first:

drop database col_db, key_db
