Glue / Client / delete_database

delete_database#

Glue.Client.delete_database(**kwargs)#

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.
