How to delete an SQL Database database

Learn how to delete an SQL Database database.

This guide demonstrates how to use Azion SQL Database to delete an existing database using the Azion API.

Deleting a database

Run the following DELETE request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token and {id_database} with the ID of the database you want to delete:

curl --location --request DELETE 'https://api.azion.com/v4/edge_sql/databases/{id_database}' \

--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]'

You should receive a response similar to this:

{"state":"pending","data":null}

This action can’t be undone, but there’s a propagation time. After deleting a database, you won’t be able to retrieve its information.
