Tablestore:Delete a data table

Usage notes

• If a search index is created for a data table, you must delete the search index before you can delete the data table.

• If a secondary index is created for a data table, the secondary index is automatically deleted when you delete the data table.

• After a data table and its secondary indexes are deleted, they cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.

Prerequisites

A client is initialized. For more information, see Initialize a Tablestore client.
