The DELETE DATABASE command deletes the physical RMS database
(CDD$FILE) from disk and its CDD$DATABASE element from the
repository.
When you issue the DELETE DATABASE command, CDO prompts you
to confirm that you want to proceed. You cannot suppress
this prompt. If you respond Yes at the prompt, CDO deletes
the highest visible version of CDD$FILE and, if you have not
specified another version number, the highest visible version of
CDD$DATABASE.
If CDO cannot delete the physical RMS file from disk, the
DELETE DATABASE command fails, and the CDD$DATABASE and CDD$FILE
elements remain in the repository.
