Re: DELETING FACILITIES WITH DATA FROM THE DHIS

 

Hi there.
I have added a Postgresql function to delete a site with data here
<https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-utils/blob/master/resources/sql/delete_site_with_data.sql>
.

Use at your own risk, but we have used this successfully in production
systems.

Regards,
Jason
