[MarkLogic Dev General] Emptying a database

Is there a quick way to empty a database?  I'm running something like this:

   for $doc in input()
   return xdmp:document-delete(base-uri($doc))

But it keeps timing out.

In an RDBMS, I'd normally drop the database and recreate it, but that's 
difficult because MarkLogic Server doesn't appear to have the same sort 
of schema dumps.  Is there something equivalent that I'm missing?
