NAME¶
pg_dropcluster - completely delete a PostgreSQL cluster
SYNOPSIS¶
pg_dropcluster [
--stop]
cluster-version cluster-name
DESCRIPTION¶
This program removes all files that belong to a given PostgreSQL cluster; that
includes the data directory, the log file, and all configuration files that
were created by
pg_createcluster(1). If the configuration directory
(/etc/postgresql/
version/
cluster) is empty after this, it is
removed as well. An empty socket directory other than
/var/run/postgresql or
/tmp is also removed.
Usually a cluster which still has a running server attached will not be deleted.
To override this, the
--stop option forces a server shutdown before the
files are removed.
