More

 To use the DELETE STORAGE MAP statement to delete a storage map for a
 relation, you must have the Rdb/VMS DELETE privilege to the relation.

 You cannot delete a storage map that refers to a relation that
 contains data.  If you attempt to do so, you will receive an error
 message.  If a relation is deleted, the underlying storage map is
 also deleted.

 You must execute this statement in a read/write transaction.  If
 there is no active transaction and you issue this statement, Rdb/VMS
 starts a read/write transaction implicitly.

 Other users are allowed to be attached to the database when you issue
 the DELETE STORAGE MAP statement.

Example

 The following example deletes the storage map TEST_MAP:

 RDO>   DELETE STORAGE MAP TEST_MAP.
