Removing or modifying installations (Mac OS X)

You can remove the database server.

You must have the privilege to run the sudo command for uninstalling on your system.

To remove a database server installation:

  1. Open a terminal window and change to the $INFORMIXDIR directory.
  2. Make sure that the $INFORMIXDIR environment variable is set to the current directory.
  3. Run the following command: 
    sudo open uninstall/uninstall_server/uninstallserver.app

    The uninstallation application runs in the same installation mode that was used when the database server was installed.

  4. Follow the prompts in the uninstallation application.
Important: If Client SDK is installed in the same directory as the database server:
  • You must uninstall the database server before you uninstall Client SDK.
  • Do not remove the Global Language Support and Messages features because both products have dependencies on the features.
