MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 7.3-7.4 Reference Guide
DROP TABLESPACEtablespace_name
ENGINE [=]engine_name
This statement drops a tablespace that was previously created
using CREATE TABLESPACE
(see
Section 13.1.18, “CREATE TABLESPACE Statement”).
The tablespace to be dropped must not contain any data files; in
other words, before you can drop a tablespace, you must first
drop each of its data files using ALTER TABLESPACE ...
DROP DATAFILE
(see
Section 13.1.8, “ALTER TABLESPACE Statement”).
The ENGINE
clause (required) specifies the
storage engine used by the tablespace. Currently, the only
accepted values for engine_name
are
NDB
and
NDBCLUSTER
.
DROP TABLESPACE
is useful only with
Disk Data storage for NDB Cluster. See
Section 18.5.10, “NDB Cluster Disk Data Tables”.
