Can you tell us what version of WAS you are using, and what database you are
using please, also when you are getting problems with this?


The WebSphere Application Server V6 System Management and Configuration
Handbook does not include information on enhancements that were made to some
Messageing Engine behavior related to databases that came along in WAS 6.1
(as the Redbook was produced based on was 6.0).

The statement in the Redbook about deleting tables from Cloudscape is very
specifically ONLY for Cloudscape, and ONLY to be done when you have deleted
and recreated a Bus/Messaging Engine with the same name as the old one on
WAS 6.0. This behavior was updated in 6.1.
