Delete a data table by using Tablestore SDK for PHP - Tablestore

This topic describes how to delete a data table from an instance by using Tablestore SDK for PHP.

Usage notes

If a search index is created for a data table, you must delete the search index before you can delete the data table.
If a secondary index is created for a data table, the secondary index is automatically deleted when you delete the data table.
After a data table and its secondary indexes are deleted, they cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.

Prerequisites

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

Method description

$request parameter description

table_name (required) string: The name of the data table.

        'table_name' => 'test_table'
    ));    
    echo "Delete table succeeded.";
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo "Delete table failed.";
}
