The DROP TABLE statement deletes a table from ColumnStore.

Syntax

DROP  TABLE [IF EXISTS] 
    tbl_name 
    [RESTRICT ]

The RESTRICT clause limits the table to being dropped in the front end only. This could be useful when the table has been dropped on one user module, and needs to be synced to others.

The following statement drops the orders table on the front end only:

DROP TABLE orders RESTRICT;
