Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for extracting aromatic dicarboxylic acids from an outlet stream of a basic depolymerization of polycondensates containing metal carboxylates of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid to be extracted, wherein a mineral or organic acid is added to this outlet stream, the pKs value of which acid being greater than or equal to that of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid, on which the polycondensate is based.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides more efficient techniques for removing a host from a multi-host database system. An instruction to remove a host system may be received. In response, a determination of whether the first host system does or does not store any source tables is made based on a host-type identifier for the host system. This determination may not require obtaining landscape information for each of the hosts in the database system. If the host system stores replica tables and does not store source tables, those replica tables may be dropped based on the determination that the first host system does not store any source tables. As such, in cases where table redistribution is not needed the landscape information is not obtained, thereby making the host removal process more efficient.
