WARNING: THIS ACTION SHOULD ONLY BE TAKEN BY QUALIFIED PERSONAL ONLY!

In some occasions it would be okay to start with an empty MariaDB. E.g. if you would like to do some more testing with a 14 days trail version.

In this post you can see which steps have to be performed to do so.

To delete the database you have to stop the custo diagnostic server (Apache Tomcat Server) in services on your computer or start the application and press <Stop>


Open the file init.sql which is default located in the directory C:\Program Files\custo diagnostic server\mariadb\


Open a power shell window on the following location C:\Program Files\custo diagnostic server\mariadb\bin\ ( You can do so by holding the Shift key and press the right mouse button, in the drop-down menu you'll find "open a powershell windows here")

Type: cmd

The following message willl be shown:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.1697]

Enter the following command: mysql -uroot -p

You will be asked to enter a password. Copy the password from the init.sql file. The password is behind the word IDENTIFIED BY, see picture above.

When the password is entered correct the following reply will be shown:
