DeleteDatabase
Removes a specified database from a Data Catalog.
Note
After completing this operation, you no longer have access to the tables (and all table versions and partitions that might belong to the tables) and the user-defined functions in the deleted database. AWS 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
DeleteDatabase, use DeleteTableVersion or
BatchDeleteTableVersion, DeletePartition or
BatchDeletePartition, DeleteUserDefinedFunction, and
DeleteTable or BatchDeleteTable, to delete any resources that
belong to the database.
