Parameter

Description

Value Range

CHECK

This parameter can be specified only when the node list is specified as TO ALL. Setting this parameter will check whether a database is accessed by other sessions before its connections are cleared. If any sessions are detected before DROP DATABASE is executed, an error will be reported and the database will not be deleted.

-

FORCE

This parameter can be specified only when the node list is specified as TO ALL. Setting this parameter will send SIGTERM signals to all the threads related to the specified dbname and username and forcibly shut them down.

-

COORDINATOR ( nodename [, ... ] ) | NODE ( nodename [, ... ] ) | ALL

  • Deletes connections to a specified CN.
