dynamodb_delete_table: The DeleteTable operation deletes a table and all of its items

Description

The DeleteTable operation deletes a table and all of its items. After a DeleteTable request, the specified table is in the DELETING state until DynamoDB completes the deletion. If the table is in the ACTIVE state, you can delete it. If a table is in CREATING or UPDATING states, then DynamoDB returns a ResourceInUseException. If the specified table does not exist, DynamoDB returns a ResourceNotFoundException. If table is already in the DELETING state, no error is returned.

Usage

dynamodb_delete_table(TableName)

Arguments

TableName

[required] The name of the table to delete.

Request syntax

svc$delete_table(
  TableName = "string"
)

Details

DynamoDB might continue to accept data read and write operations, such as GetItem and PutItem, on a table in the DELETING state until the table deletion is complete.

When you delete a table, any indexes on that table are also deleted.

If you have DynamoDB Streams enabled on the table, then the corresponding stream on that table goes into the DISABLED state, and the stream is automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Use the DescribeTable action to check the status of the table.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# This example deletes the Music table.
# }
# NOT RUN {
svc$delete_table(
  TableName = "Music"
)
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
