xquery version "1.0-ml";
import module namespace admin = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/admin"
at "/MarkLogic/admin.xqy";
let $config := admin:get-configuration()
return
admin:database-delete($config, admin:database-get-id($config, "foo"))
=> The new configuration with the specified databases is removed.
Use admin:save-configuration to save these changes.
