Tablestore:Delete a data table

Usage notes

• If a search index exists on the data table, delete the search index before deleting the data table.

• If a secondary index exists on the data table, it is automatically deleted along with the data table.

• After a data table and its secondary indexes are deleted, they cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.

Prerequisites

A Tablestore client is initialized. For more information, see Initialize a Tablestore client.

Method

def delete_table(self, table_name)

Sample code

The following example deletes a data table named test_table.

from tablestore import OTSClient

# Initialize the client. For details, see "Initialize a Tablestore client".
# client = OTSClient(...)

try:
    client.delete_table('test_table')
    print("Delete table succeeded.")
except Exception as e:
    print("Delete table failed. Error: %s" % e)
