NAME

        UNINSTALL NODE - Decommission Slony-I node

SYNOPSIS

        UNINSTALL NODE (options);

DESCRIPTION

        Restores all tables to the unlocked state, with all original user trig‐
        gers, constraints and rules, eventually added Slony-I  specific  serial
        key  columns dropped and the Slony-I schema dropped. The node becomes a
        standalone database. The data is left untouched.
 
        ID = ival
               Node ID of the node to uninstall.
 
        This uses “schemadocuninstallnode( )” [not available as a man page].
 
        The difference between UNINSTALL NODE and DROP NODE is that  all  UNIN     
        STALL NODE does is to remove the Slony-I configuration; it doesn’t drop
        the node’s configuration from replication.

EXAMPLE

          UNINSTALL NODE ( ID = 2 );
        When dropping triggers off of application tables, this will require ex‐
        clusive access to each replicated table on the node being discarded.
        If  you  are using connections that cache query plans (this is particu‐
        larly common for Java application frameworks  with  connection  pools),
        the  connections  may  cache query plans that include the pre-UNINSTALL
        NODE state of things, and you will get error messages indicating  miss‐
        ing OIDs [“[MISSING TEXT]” [not available as a man page]].
 
        After dropping a node, you may also need to recycle connections in your
        application.
        This command was introduced in Slony-I 1.0
