[MarkLogic Dev General] Emptying a database

[Ryan Grimm]

You can clear a database using the admin interface.  Just select your 
database and under the Configure tab there is a clear button in the 
upper right hand corner of the page.  This operation is much faster than 
using document-delete() on all of the documents.
