Syntax
DETACH DATABASE remote_

Remarks
-
If
FORCE

The database is dropped from the SingleStore cluster.
All data in the detached database that is stored locally in the cluster is deleted (and not uploaded to remote storage). However, FORCE
does not remove the corresponding database files from the remote object store; you should remove these files manually, if desired.

-
If
FORCE
is not specified, the following apply:-
A milestone (a restore point) is created.
The CREATE MILESTONE command is run implicitly. -
While the milestone is being created, SingleStore uploads the remote database's local cluster data to remote storage that has not yet been synced.
-
If
milestone_
is not specified, a name containing the current timestamp is automatically generated.name
-
-
Once a database is detached, information about that database and its milestones is no longer visible in the MV_
* views such as MV_ MILESTONES and MV_ BOTTOMLESS_ DATABASE. The information is available again once the database is reattached. -
After detaching a database, you can reattach the database using ATTACH DATABASE.
The reattach can be done optionally at a milestone or a point in time, and with the same or a different database name. -
This command cannot be run on system databases.
