<div class="main-content-wrapper"> <div class="main-content"> <a class="edit-link" href="https://github.com/apache/drill-site/blob/master/_docs/en/sql-reference/sql-commands/056-drop-view.md" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-pencil-square-o"></i></a> <div class="int_title left"> <h1>DROP VIEW</h1> </div>  <div class="int_text" align="left"> <p>The DROP VIEW command removes a view that was created in a workspace using the CREATE VIEW command. As of Drill 1.8, you can include the IF EXISTS parameter with the DROP VIEW command.</p> <h2 id="syntax">Syntax</h2> <p>The DROP VIEW command supports the following syntax:</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>DROP VIEW [IF EXISTS] [workspace.]view_name; </code></pre></div></div> <h2 id="parameters">Parameters</h2> <p>IF EXISTS Drill does not throw an error if the view does not exist. Instead, Drill returns “<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">View [view_name] not found in schema [workspace].</code>”</p> <p><em>workspace</em> The location of the view in subdirectories of a local or distributed file system.</p> <p><em>name</em> A unique directory or file name, optionally prefaced by a storage plugin name, such as <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">dfs</code>, and a workspace, such as <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">tmp</code> using dot notation.</p> <h2 id="usage-notes">Usage Notes</h2> <ul> <li> <p>By default, Drill returns a result set when you issue DDL statements, such as DROP VIEW. If the client tool from which you connect to Drill (via JDBC) does not expect a result set when you issue DDL statements, set the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">exec.query.return_result_set_for_ddl</code> option to false, as shown, to prevent the client from canceling queries:</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code> SET `exec.query.return_result_set_for_ddl` = false //This option is available in Drill 1.15 and later. </code></pre></div> </div> <p>When set to false, Drill returns the affected rows count, and the result set is null.</p> </li> <li> <p>When you drop a view, all information about the view is deleted from the workspace in which it was created. DROP VIEW applies to the view only, not to the underlying data sources used to create the view. However, if you drop a view that another view is dependent on, you can no longer use the dependent view. If the underlying tables or views change after a view is created, you may want to drop and re-create the view. Alternatively, you can use the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW syntax to update the view.</p> </li> </ul> <h2 id="example">Example</h2> <p>This example shows you some steps to follow when you want to drop a view in Drill using the DROP VIEW command. A workspace named “donuts” was created for the steps in this example.</p> <p>Complete the following steps to drop a view in Drill:</p> <p>Use the writable workspace from which the view was created.</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> use dfs.donuts; |------|----------------------------------------| | ok | summary | |------|----------------------------------------| | true | Default schema changed to 'dfs.donuts' | |------|----------------------------------------| </code></pre></div></div> <p>Use the DROP VIEW command to remove a view created in the current workspace.</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> drop view mydonuts; |------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | ok | summary | |------|---------------------------------------------------------------| | true | View 'mydonuts' deleted successfully from 'dfs.donuts' schema | |------|---------------------------------------------------------------| </code></pre></div></div> <p>Use the DROP VIEW command to remove a view created in another workspace.</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> drop view dfs.tmp.yourdonuts; |------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | ok | summary | |------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | true | View 'yourdonuts' deleted successfully from 'dfs.tmp' schema | |------|--------------------------------------------------------------| </code></pre></div></div> <p>Use the DROP VIEW command with or without the IF EXISTS parameter to remove a view created in the current workspace.</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> drop view if exists mydonuts; |------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | ok | summary | |------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | true | View 'mydonuts' deleted successfully from 'dfs.donuts' schema| |------------|--------------------------------------------------------------| </code></pre></div></div> <p>Use the DROP VIEW command with the IF EXISTS parameter to remove a view that does not exist in the current workspace, either because it was never created or it was already removed.</p> <div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> drop view if exists mydonuts; |------|--------------------------------------------------| | ok | summary | |------|--------------------------------------------------| | true | View 'mydonuts' not found in schema 'dfs.donuts' | |------|--------------------------------------------------| 1 row selected (0.085 seconds) </code></pre></div></div> <div class="doc-nav"> <span class="previous-toc"><a href="/docs/drop-table/">← DROP TABLE</a></span><span class="next-toc"><a href="/docs/explain/">EXPLAIN →</a></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="push"></p> <div id="footer" class="mw"> <div class="wrapper"> Copyright © 2012-2022 The Apache Software Foundation, licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.<br> Apache and the Apache feather logo are trademarks of The Apache Software Foundation.
