Dropping a Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server database
You can drop a database on an Amazon RDS DB instance running Microsoft SQL Server in a Single-AZ or Multi-AZ deployment. To drop the database, use the following command:
--replace
your-database-name
with the name of the database you want to drop EXECUTE msdb.dbo.rds_drop_database N'your-database-name
'
Note
Use straight single quotes in the command. Smart quotes will cause an error.
After you use this procedure to drop the database, Amazon RDS drops all existing connections to the database and removes the database's backup history.
To grant backup and restore allowance to other users, follow this procedure:
USE master GO CREATE LOGIN
user1
WITH PASSWORD=N'changeThis
', DEFAULT_DATABASE=master, CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF GO USE msdb GO CREATE USERuser1
FOR LOGINuser1
GO use msdb GO GRANT EXECUTE ON msdb.dbo.rds_backup_database TOuser1
GO GRANT EXECUTE ON msdb.dbo.rds_restore_database TOuser1
GO
