# ndb\_drop\_table(1)

drop NDB table

## NAME

ndb\_drop\_table - drop NDB table

## SYNOPSIS

**ndb\_drop\_table** *options*

## DESCRIPTION

**ndb\_drop\_table** drops the specified NDB table. (If you try to use this on a table created with a storage engine other than NDB, it fails with the error 723: No such table exists.) This operation is extremely fast — in some cases, it can be an order of magnitude faster than using DROP TABLE on an NDB table from MySQL.

**Usage**:

```
ndb_drop_table -c connect_string tbl_name -d db_name
```

**Additional Options**: None.
