-<P>To look for information in a defined database, simply use the <EM>dbshow</EM>
-command, for example ...

-<PRE>
-dbshow buckmaster G0YLM

-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>will show the information for the callsign G0YLM from the buckmaster

-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>

-<P>To delete an existing database you use the <EM>dbremove</EM> command.
-For example ...
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-dbremove oblast
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-<P>would remove the oblast database and its associated datafile from the
-system. There are no warnings or recovery possible from this command.
-If you remove a database it ceases to exist and would have to be created
-from scratch if you still required it.
