In my previous post (http://thinkfirstcodelater.com/blog/?p=3570) I showed you how to use the Windows Azure cross platform command line tools to delete a SQL database. In this post I’ll show you how to use the tools to delete a SQL server.
Once again, just a reminder that I’m using the command line tools on a MacBook Air with OSX (Mavericks) installed, and I’m using Google Chrome as my default browser. However, the experience should be identical on Windows and Linux as well.
Open an instance of your command line (Terminal, Bash, Command Prompt, etc.) and type the following:
azure sql server delete -h
The azure sql server delete command is the command to use to delete a SQL server. The only parameter you need to specify is serverName, which, as you can probably guess is simply the name of the SQL server you want to delete. You can specify the -q, —quiet option if you want to suppress the confirmation prompt.
To delete a SQL server, enter the following into your CLI, substituting where appropriate:
azure sql server delete -q ‘[YOUR SQL SERVER NAME]‘
I entered the following:
azure sql server delete -q ‘woa74eflzv’
Once the command completes, you can use the azure sql server list command (http://thinkfirstcodelater.com/blog/?p=3463) to verify the SQL server has been deleted.
That’s all there is to it. In my next post I’m going to start looking at how you can use the Windows Azure cross platform command line tools to manage your Windows Azure storage accounts.
Did you know you can try Windows Azure for free for 30 days? Just go to http://aka.ms/thecloud and sign up.
