Removing or modifying installations (UNIX, Linux)

You can remove a database server and the HCL OneDB™ client products or remove only the database server.

You must be logged in as root or for non-root installations, as the owner of the database server.

If you have multiple installations of the product on the computer, the uninstallation application affects only the database server installation that is located in the $ONEDB_HOME path that you specify in the command. After HCL OneDB products are removed, you can manually delete the $ONEDB_HOME directory. It is not deleted automatically.

Removing an HCL OneDB software bundle installation

If you installed HCL OneDB client products, such as HCL OneDB Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK), OneDB Connect, or the HCL OneDB JDBC Driver together in the same directory, you can quickly uninstall the database server and the client products at the same time.

To remove the database server and client product installations that are installed in the same folder, run one of the following commands:

  • Console mode:

    $ONEDB_HOME/uninstall/uninstall_server/uninstallserver -i console

  • GUI mode:

    $ONEDB_HOME/uninstall/uninstall_server/uninstallserver -i gui

  2. Follow the prompts in the uninstallation application.
