Once you create a database, you can use Database Manager to delete (drop) it from
the server.
Notes
• You can delete a database only if you are the database owner or if you are a SQL
System Administrator.
• You cannot delete a database that is currently in use. If the database is currently
in use, you will receive the following error, "A database error occurred while
dropping the database..."
• The process of deleting a database may take over a minute.
