PG_DROPCLUSTER(1) Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure PG_DROPCLUSTER(1)
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, wal, and tablespace directories, 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.
