Deletes one or more relation definitions.  When the DELETE RELATION
 statement executes, Rdb/VMS deletes the relation definition from the
 physical database.  If you use the PATHNAME qualifier when you invoke
 the database, DELETE RELATION also deletes the relation definition
 from the data dictionary.  You CANNOT delete a relation definition
 when there are active users.

 Example:

      DELETE RELATION COLLEGES.

 RDO> DELETE RELATION COLLEGES.
 RDO> COMMIT

 This statement deletes the definition for COLLEGES from the database
 file for PERSONNEL and from the data dictionary.


 Example 2

 Delete more than one relation definition:

 RDO> INVOKE DATABASE PATHNAME "PERSONNEL"
 RDO> DELETE RELATION DEGREES, COLLEGES.
 RDO> COMMIT

 This statement deletes both DEGREES and COLLEGES from the database
 file for PERSONNEL and from the data dictionary.
