Time for action – performing a Delete request


You will delete the document just added to the Orders database using a DELETE request. You will specify the document Guid in the request URL and perform the request on the server to delete the document. Then, you will verify in the Management Studio that the document has been removed and you will take a look to the server response:

  1. Open the Management Studio and select the Orders database.

  2. Click on the Documents tab and open the document which has a Guid as the ID.

  3. Copy the document ID to the clipboard.

  4. Launch the RESTClient tool.

  5. Click on the Method tab and select the DELETE HTTP method.

  6. In the HTTP Request section, enter this URL and complete it by the document Guid you stored on the clipboard: http://localhost:8080/databases/orders/docs/{your guid}.

  7. Click on the green Go! button to send the DELETE request to the server.

  8. In the Management Studio, click on the Documents tab and verify that the document has been deleted from the Orders database.
