Log on to OceanBase Developer Center (ODC) and click the name of the target connection to go to the corresponding database object management page. Click Recycle Bin to go to the recycle bin page.
The recycle bin temporarily stores deleted database objects and allows you to search for and restore the deleted objects. Technically, the recycle bin is a data dictionary table that stores the information about the database objects deleted by users. Deletion here refers to the DROP operation. Data that is deleted by the DELETE operation does not enter the recycle bin. Therefore, an object deleted by the DROP operation is not permanently deleted and still occupies storage space. You can use the PURGE operation or empty the recycle bin in ODC to release the space.
The recycle bin page displays the following information, as shown in the following figure:
| Information | Description |
|---|---|
| Original Name | The name of the deleted object specified by its creator. |
| Object Name | The name that ODC gives to the object. Unlike the original name, the object name is never repeated and can uniquely identify an object. |
| Object Type | The type of the deleted object. |
| Recycled At | The timestamp of when the object was deleted. The timestamps help you track deleted objects with ease. |
In addition, the navigation bar on the recycle bin page provides the following buttons:
Empty Recycle Bin : Click this button to purge all the objects from the recycle bin and release the storage space.
Refresh : Click this button to refresh the list of deleted objects in the recycle bin.
Prompt : After you set a time for purging the recycle bin, ODC displays, in the prompt bar based on your settings, the time that deleted objects can be stored in the recycle bin.
Clear : Click this button to purge the selected object from the recycle bin and release the storage space.
Restore : Click this button to restore the selected object from the recycle bin to its original location.
