Time for action — deleting a database In CouchDB

In this exercise, we'll call a DELETE request to delete the another-db database.

Delete another-db by running the following command in Terminal:
```
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5984/another-db 
```
Terminal will respond with the following:
```
{"ok":true} 
```

What just happened?

We used Terminal to trigger a DELETE method to CouchDB's RESTful JSON API. We passed the name of the database that we wanted to delete, another-db, at the end of the root URL. When the database was successfully deleted, we received a message that everything went okay.
