DeleteTable
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. AWS 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.
