Batch Delete Table

glue_batch_delete_table R Documentation

Deletes multiple tables at once

Description

Deletes multiple tables at once.

After completing this operation, you no longer have access to the table versions and partitions that belong to the deleted table. 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 batch_delete_table, use delete_table_version or batch_delete_table_version, and delete_partition or batch_delete_partition, to delete any resources that belong to the table.

Usage
