Delete all attributes

[amabdallah]

Is there a way to delete all the attributes in the Hydra db? I noticed that the tAttr has old dimensions that confuse the script when it looks up attributes. I think this is way my local Hydra server with new db works while the remote ones give me an error message about the mismatch between the attribute and unit dimensions

I'm looking for something like

conn.call('delete_all_attributes', ({}))

Thanks

One major side-effect of deleting attributes is that any resource attribute (and therefore associated data) will be deleted also, as they all connect in the relational DB. Deleting all attributes should therefore really be a last resort/ Attributes are uniquely identified by both name and dimension, so it's possible for 'cost : dimensionless' and 'cost : monetary value' to co-exist. Can you clarify which function is causing the error, and how you are adding attributes? It might be just a case of needing to add new attributes with different dimensions. Thanks. Steve

Thanks Steve for the clarification. So my case can be solved then by adding new attributes with
different dimensions. So looking up the AttributeID requires passing both its name and dimension.
