Contained in package wwwpre_api_name.

Call this procedure to delete a preference path. The delete_path procedure deletes the specified path, the specified name and all values associated with it, and all subordinate names and values.

Notes:

  • The last name specified in p_path is deleted.

  • The names in the path must be delimited with a period (.).

Examples:

  • If the path to be deleted is ORACLE.PORTAL.STYLE, and if the names associated with STYLE are BGCOLOR, BANNERCOLOR, and PAGE_IMAGE, and if each name has a number of values associated with it, then delete_path deletes BGCOLOR, BANNERCOLOR, and PAGE_IMAGE and all values associated with each name. Then it deletes STYLE from the path.

  • If the preference path to be deleted is ORACLE, delete_path removes the entire path.
