A resource can be deleted from a table by calling the following FairCom DB API C API function:

CTDBRET ctdbDECL ctdbDeleteResource(CTHANDLE resource);

Before the resource can be deleted, the table must be opened with exclusive mode CTOPEN_EXCLUSIVE.

• resource is a resource handle allocated by ctdbAllocResource(), and the resource type and resource number that identify this resource must be passed to ctdbAllocResource().

After the resource is deleted, its name, number and name are reset.
