8 Removing Oracle AI Database Software

Use the deinstall command that is included in Oracle homes to remove Oracle software. Oracle does not support the removal of individual products or components.

Caution:

If you have a single-instance database on a node in a cluster, and if you have multiple databases with the same global database name (GDN), then you cannot use the deinstall command to remove one database only.
