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

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

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 index are deleted, they cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.

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