delete-database

Description

Removes a specified database from a Data Catalog.

Note

After completing this operation, you no longer have access to the tables (and all table versions and partitions that might belong to the tables) and the user-defined functions in the deleted database. 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 DeleteDatabase , use DeleteTableVersion or BatchDeleteTableVersion , DeletePartition or BatchDeletePartition , DeleteUserDefinedFunction , and DeleteTable or BatchDeleteTable , to delete any resources that belong to the database.

Synopsis

  delete-database
[--catalog-id <value>]
--name <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--catalog-id (string)

The ID of the Data Catalog in which the database resides. If none is provided, the Amazon Web Services account ID is used by default.

--name (string)

The name of the database to delete. For Hive compatibility, this must be all lowercase.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
