    DROP TABLE

    Removes a table from your data source.

    When dropping an Apache Iceberg table:

    • For external Nessie data sources, the DROP TABLE command logically removes a table from the source. Even though the table is removed from the catalog, it still physically exists in storage until garbage collection removes it.
    • For Amazon S3 data sources, the DROP TABLE command logically removes a table from the source and physically removes all files associated with the table. After the table is dropped, it is permanently deleted and cannot be restored.
    • For AWS Glue data sources, the DROP TABLE command removes a table from the catalog. The datafiles are not deleted from the warehouse.
    Syntax 
    DROP TABLE <table_name>

    Parameters

    <table_name>

    String

    The path of the table that you want to drop. The name of the table should be unique, and the table is stored in the Context field that you select.

    Example

    Drop table 
    DROP TABLE demo.example_table
