Syntax

  function ibec_DropDatabase(DatabaseType : integer; DatabaseProps : variant) : variant;

ibec_Database attempts to drop a database using the specified properties or connection handle and returns 0 if successful. Otherwise it returns NULL and raises an exception.

Note: It is impossible to drop the default connection using ibec_DropDatabase, an exception will be raised.

Parameters

DatabaseType	Type of database to be dropped. Currently only ctFirebird/ctDatabase is supported.
DatabaseProps	List of the database properties, delimited with semicolon. Alternatively you can use a connection handle created with the ibec_CreateConnection or the ibec_CreateDatabase functions. The following properties are available:
DBName=<path_to_a_database>	A new database file specification; file naming conventions are platform-specific.
ClientLib=<path to client library>	Client library file name. Default: gds32.dll.
User=<user_name>	User name.
Password=<password>	Password.
