Initialize Derby Database?

Hi,

I've been playing with RTC 2.0 and now want to scrap the content in there and start from scratch. I don't want to archive anything and have it lying around.

How do I do this?

Thanks

Jon

How do I do this?

repotools -createtables

should do it (by dropping and recreating the tables and data)

Thanks Christophe.

I dropped the tables, and recreated them. Your answer helped immensley, but I was tripped up a little because the command is case sensitive (createTables).

One interesting thing you might want to look at is that although I have now initialized the database and it is empty... I can still log on with my old username. The user by the way is *not* listed as a user. I didn't need to log in as ADMIN at all. Seems like a bug somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I have bounced the server, but perhaps clearing the cache could help.

If this is required, it seems to be a bug and possible a security issue.

Thanks very much again

Jon

If you're using Tomcat as the app server, your "user database" is held
in the text file tomcat-users.xml, not in Derby. You may need to
manually edit that file and clip out the users, or just copy in an
original version.
