Drop a table from its namespace

Drop a table from its namespace and delete its data. If the table and its data can be immediately deleted, return information of the deleted table. Otherwise, return a transaction ID that client can use to track deletion progress.

post/v1/table/{id}/drop

Path parameters

idstring required

string identifier of an object in a namespace, following the Lance Namespace spec. When the value is equal to the delimiter, it represents the root namespace. For example, v1/namespace/./list performs a ListNamespace on the root namespace.

Query parameters

delimiterstring nullable

An opaque token that allows pagination for list APIs (e.g. ListNamespaces). For an initial client request for a list API, if the server cannot return all items in one response, or if there are more items than the pageSize specified in the client request, the server must return a nextPageToken in the response indicating there are more results available. After the initial request, the value of nextPageToken from each response must be used by the client as the pageToken parameter value for the next request. Clients must interpret either null, missing value or empty string value of nextPageToken from a server response as the end of the listing results.

An optional delimiter of the string identifier, following the Lance Namespace spec. When not specified, the . delimiter must be used.
