ProcedureHow to Modify the Makefile to Delete Databases

If you do not want the Makefile to produce maps for a specific database, edit the Makefile as follows.

  1. Delete the name of the database from the all rule.

  2. Delete or comment out the database rule for the database you want to delete.

    For example, to delete the hosts database, the hosts.time entry should be removed.

  3. Remove the time rule.

    For example, to delete the hosts database, the hosts: hosts.time entry should be removed.

  4. Remove the map from the master and slave servers.
