Dropping a Amazon RDS for Microsoft SQL Server database

You can drop a database on an Amazon RDS DB instance running Microsoft SQL Server in a Single-AZ or Multi-AZ deployment. To drop the database, use the following command:

--replace your-database-name with the name of the database you want to drop
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.rds_drop_database  N'your-database-name'

Note

Use straight single quotes in the command. Smart quotes will cause an error.

After you use this procedure to drop the database, Amazon RDS drops all existing connections to the database and removes the database's backup history.
