Navigation:  How to Work with a Remote Database > Deleting a Remote Database Profile or Table

 

Overview

 

If a particular remote database profile is no longer necessary, you can delete it. It is also possible to remove an imported table.

 

If you delete a remote database profile or a table that is being used in the current project, you must revise all the processes that make use of the deleted remote database profile or table and replace their data source with an existing remote database or table. To make sure you do not miss a data source replacement, generate a "Project Verification Report":

a. Click (located in the Icon Shortcut Bar).

 

b. Check the resulting "Project Verification Report" and, if there are any, correct the reported issues. See Detail of Project Verification Report.
