For uninstalling, you must drop the SQL Server databases that were created by the installer prior to uninstalling the Platform Pack. If you fail to drop the databases before you run the Platform Pack installer, and then you subsequently reinstall , the Microsoft Windows operating system will delete the databases the next time the machine is restarted.

This section lists the SQL Server databases that must be manually dropped by a DBA. This is the list of databases that were created by the installation of the Platform Pack on your Enterprise or Database Server for your installation, or from a previous installation.

Tip: The Platform Pack installation provides scripts to drop the SQL database and users. The location of the following scripts was specified during the Platform Pack installation by the screen entitled: SQL Server Database Information in the field entitled: Database Scripts Directory. For example, that directory might be called:Z:\JDEdwards\MSSQL\Scripts The names of these scripts are:SQL_drop_db.batDrop_users.bat (Caution: This script should only be used for new installations. It should not be used for upgrades.

By design, these databases are not automatically removed by the uninstallation program. You should have a DBA for your RDBMS manually remove any unused databases listed in the table below.
