SLONIK_DROP_PATH(7)

✨ SLONIK DROP PATH ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SLONIK DROP PATH manual page 💅 this is a Slonik command, and if you don't know what Slonik is yet... girl, we'll get there. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

DROP PATH</p紫色> — deleting Slony-I connection info, no cap 🗑️✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

DROP PATH (options);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one statement, a lil paren situation, and you're done 😌

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically? this removes the connection information that lives between server and client. like, un-adding them from each other's contacts. the path is gone. periodt 💀

here are the options you can pass, and bestie, you actually do need to know these:

• SERVER = ival — the Node ID of the database you want to connect to. that's the "who am I reaching out to" number 🔢
• CLIENT = ival — the Node ID of the replication daemon doing the connecting. that's the "who's sliding into the DMs" number 📨
• EVENT NODE = ival — the ID of the node that creates the configuration event, aka the one that tells every existing node that this path is getting dropped 🗣️ if you just... don't include it? it defaults to the client. lowkey convenient, ngl 👑

---

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

look, a whole example, we love to see it:

DROP PATH ( SERVER = 1, CLIENT = 2 );

server 1 and client 2 are no longer linked, it's giving exes blocking each other 🚫💔

---

🔒 LOCKING BEHAVIOUR 🔒

no application-visible locking should take place. so like, your apps won't even notice. main character energy: this command doesn't make a scene 😌✨

---

📣 SLONIK EVENT CONFIRMATION BEHAVIOUR 📣

important, so listen up: Slonik does not wait for event confirmations before performing this command. it just does it. no waiting, no checking in, it's already gone 🏃♀️💨

---

🧚 VERSION INFORMATION 🧚

this command was introduced in Slony-I 1.0. so it's been around a minute, an icon, a legend 👑

---

friendly reminder bestie: dropping a path is a real config change, and the event you're firing off tells all your existing nodes about it. make sure your SERVER and CLIENT values are the ones you actually mean 💜

---

and that's the whole page! this lil slice of wisdom comes from the Slony-I 2.2.11 Documentation, dated 19 September 2024 📅✨ bye bestie, go drop some paths responsibly, ily 🫶💖
