# ezhst db delete

Delete the database.

## Usage

```
ezhst db delete --yes
```

Take a `pg_dump` first if you need the data.

## In scripts and agents

Add `--json` to read the result from stdout. Progress goes to stderr. On failure the process exits with code 1 and prints `{"error": "..."}`. Without a TTY the CLI never prompts, so pass every value as a flag.

```
npx ezhst db delete --yes --json
```
