API equivalent to 'Recreate a database' option in ^DATABASE routine?

Question

Steven LeBlanc · Dec 17, 2015

Hi,

Is there any API equivalent (within Config.Databases class, or elsewhere) that has the same functionality as the 'Recreate a database' option in the ^DATABASE routine?

This option was added to ^DATABASE (according to internal Devlog CFL1263):

to recreate a database which is equivalent to deleting the .DAT file and recreating it.

I tested this, and the recreate option also appears to also preserve the original database parameters (e.g. max size, resource name). But when I separately try Delete, and then Create, it does not preserve those settings, so the 'Recreate' option provides additional functionality.

Is there a way to accomplish this programmatically through a supported API, other than scripting the ^DATABASE routine?

Thanks,

Steve
