4.2.6. Destroying Resources

Up one level
Destroying resources from the GRIA Client

The GRIA client allows you to destroy any of the resources for which you have the owner PBAC role. To do this simply right click on the resource and select "Destroy".

Destroying Data Resources

When destroying a data resource that was created by the OGSA-DAI service (ie. by using the create new data resource feature), all tables and data in that database will be removed from the RDBMS.

Destroying a data resource that already existed (and was configured using the connect existing database feature) will only remove the link between the OGSA-DAI service and the back-end, and will leave the data intact.

Destroying a database will cause all roles and subscriptions on the database to be destroyed in addition to the database resource itself.

Destroying Role Resources

Destroying a role resource will also destroy any subscriptions that use that role.

Note you cannot destroy roles that were automatically created by the OGSA-DAI service. These roles exist until the database that they belong to is destroyed.

Destroying Subscription Resources

Removing a subscription resource will prevent any further queries from being run using that subscription.
