Drop database Using RMAN command.

Run below command in RMAN prompt.  You must be connected to a target database and database is mount exclusive and not open. You need to start RESTRICT mode.

RMAN> connect target /

connected to target database: TEST (DBID=233344476, not open)

RMAN> SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION';

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
sql statement: ALTER SYSTEM ENABLE RESTRICTED SESSION

RMAN> DROP DATABASE INCLUDING BACKUPS;

database name is "TEST" and DBID is 233344476

Do you really want to drop all backups and the database (enter YES or NO)? YES
