PolarDB:DROP TABLE

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

Deletes one or more tables from a PolarDB-X 1.0 database. The system automatically removes all associated physical tables.

Syntax

DROP [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF EXISTS]
    tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...
    [RESTRICT | CASCADE]
Note PolarDB-X 1.0 supports the same DROP TABLE syntax as MySQL. For the full syntax reference, see DROP TABLE statement.

Usage notes

  • Dropping a table that has a global secondary index (GSI) deletes both the primary table and the index table.
  • To delete only the index table, use ALTER TABLE DROP INDEX instead.

Example

Drop a table named user_log:

DROP TABLE user_log;
