Does the deinstall tool drop the database or is only for the software

All,

I have read section 7 (Removing Oracle Database Software) in the the Oracle Database Installation guide 11.2.    However, I am still unclear as to if this tool also drops/removes an existing database. 

We are decommissioning Oracle on one of our Linux servers that has 11.2.0.3 and one database.  Do I need to drop the database first prior to running the deinstall?   Prior to 11g, we would remove the database then remove the software. 

Do we need to remove the database first using DBCA or does the deinstall tool take care of removing the database?

Howdy, Stranger!
