Glue / Client / delete_table

delete_table#

Glue.Client.delete_table(**kwargs)#

Removes a table definition from the Data Catalog.

Note

After completing this operation, you no longer have access to the table versions and partitions that belong to the deleted table. Glue deletes these “orphaned” resources asynchronously in a timely manner, at the discretion of the service.

To ensure the immediate deletion of all related resources, before calling DeleteTable, use DeleteTableVersion or BatchDeleteTableVersion, and DeletePartition or BatchDeletePartition, to delete any resources that belong to the table.
