Deleting groups from the database

You can delete a group from the database using both Sybase Central and Interactive SQL.

Deleting users or groups from the database is different from removing them from other groups. Deleting a group from the database does not delete its members from the database, although they lose membership in the deleted group.

Only the DBA can delete a group.

To delete a group from the database (Sybase Central)

1. Open the Users & Groups folder.

2. Select the desired group and then choose File > Delete.

To delete a group from the database (SQL)

1. Connect to a database.

2. Execute a REVOKE CONNECT FROM statement.

Example

Remove the group personnel from the database.

REVOKE CONNECT FROM personnel;
