Delete a MariaDB service

Delete non protected MariaDB instance

If you do not need your MariaDB service anymore, you can delete it in the same way as you would with any other object in your cluster:

$ oc delete vshnmariadb.vshn.appcat.vshn.io mariadb-app1-prod

Non-reversible operation

If you delete the instance from the cluster, it will be deleted together with all of its data and backups!

Delete protected MariaDB instance

A MariaDB instance that is protected from deletion cannot be deleted right away. First disable deletion protection then delete the instance.

Disable deletion protection:

$ oc edit vshnmariadb.vshn.appcat.vshn.io mariadb-app1-prod

apiVersion: vshn.appcat.vshn.io/v1
kind: VSHNMariaDB
metadata:
  name: mariadb-app1-prod
  namespace: prod-app
spec:
  parameters:
    security:
      deletionProtection: false (1)
  writeConnectionSecretToRef:
    name: mariadb-creds

1	Make sure the parameter is set to false

Delete the instance
```
$ oc edit vshnmariadb.vshn.appcat.vshn.io mariadb-app1-prod
```
Non-reversible operation

If you delete the instance from the cluster, it will be deleted together with all of its data and backups!
