Hi All,
Below are operations I am performing in sequence.
>db2 create database xxx
SQL1005N The database alias "xxx" already exists in either the local
database directory or system database directory.

>db2 connect to xxx
SQL30061N The database alias or database name "xxx " was
not found at the remote node. SQLSTATE=08004

>db2 catalog database pca_u
SQL1005N The database alias "xxx" already exists in either the local
database directory or system database directory.

>list db directory
Database 7 entry:
Database alias = xxx
Database name = xxx
Local database directory = C:
Database release level = b.00
Comment =
Directory entry type = Indirect
Catalog database partition number = 0
Alternate server hostname =
Alternate server port number =

How can I completely uncatalog this previously cataloged database named 'xxx' so as to create a new DB with the same name???

Is this a trick question?

db2 catalog database xxx on c:
db2 drop database xxx
db2 create database xxx
