Deleting a sandbox

Velocity Help

You can delete a sandbox when you have finished using it. Deleting the sandbox does not affect the database source from which the sandbox was created.

Notes about deleting a sandbox

  • When you delete a sandbox that was created from an Oracle database, it is automatically unmounted from the Oracle Database server. The host Oracle Database server on which the sandbox was located is also automatically unmounted from the Velocity Storage Server.

  • After you delete a sandbox, wait up to 15 minutes before you create a new sandbox on the same host with the same name as the deleted sandbox.

    See Error occurs when a new sandbox name has the same name as a deleted sandbox

  • Before you can delete a sandbox that was created from a SQL database, you must drop the SQL database. Use the appropriate SQL statement to drop the database before you attempt this procedure in the Velocity Console.

  • For a sandbox that was created from an Oracle database, you must stop the database before you delete it if both of the following conditions are true for the sandbox:

    • You unchecked the check box Automatically start the database instance when you created the sandbox.

    • You did not use the Velocity command to start the database instance manually.

To delete a sandbox

  1. From the Velocity Console, in the left pane, click Sandboxes.

  2. Click Delete next to the sandbox that you want to delete.

  3. Click Delete to confirm that you want to delete the sandbox.
