I am making existing tables volatile. However, on startup, it seems that the database still stores the data which results in the table still being populated. Is there a method to clear the database of the table data through the driver?
Hi Joshua,
When you mention "making existing tables volatile" are you reusing the original element?
When converting a table that was previously saved, you must create a new element, otherwise, the "old" data will persist in the database after being made volatile.
Also, as mentioned in this Docs page (Persisting tables | DataMiner Docs) you should remove any "save" option you previously had.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a way of achieving this easily.
For that, you would need to manually delete all the saved data from the tables you are trying to make volatile before updating to the new version.
Hi Joao,
Yes I am reusing the original element. I am trying to circumvent having to create a new element for this change as that would result in loss of trending/alarming etc.
