destroy db

Delete a utopia-tagged RDS database. Strong confirmation. Use --keep-data for a final snapshot.

bash
awsutopia destroy db <name> [--keep-data] [--force] [--yes] [--dry-run] [--json]
bash
awsutopia destroy db app --keep-data --yes
awsutopia destroy db app --yes          # no final snapshot — data gone

Same ownership rules as everything else. Decline confirmation → no-op, exit 5.

--dry-run with --keep-data shows the planned final snapshot id without deleting.

See Destroy policy.
