Can somebody let me know how I would remove an account from the posgreSQL database?
I can see the tables, but don’t know where the accounts are held or the sql statement to delete them.
Thank you.
I have used
UPDATE person SET deleted = 't' WHERE id =nnnn;
You can get the id’s from:
SELECT id, name, published FROM person WHERE instance_id= 1 and deleted = 'f' ORDER by id;
I have not searched but shouldn’t they have some database schema documentations such as ER diagrams?
This probably needs verification, so run at your own risk!
The SQL statement to delete would be:
DELETE from person where name = '...'
person
is the table of users.name = '...'
is the condition for the row that is to be deleted.You can also modify the condition to, for example, delete a user using the
id
instead of theirname
(username).Here’s a link to the “schema” of the
person
table as generated by the backend code.With federated services it’s generally a bad idea to fully delete an account, it’s better to mark the account as “deleted” so future requests can be notified of the deletion
This also prevents people from impersonating others
