NDB_DROP_TABLE(1)					       MySQL Database System						 NDB_DROP_TABLE(1)

NAME
       ndb_drop_table - drop an NDB table

SYNOPSIS
       ndb_drop_table options

DESCRIPTION
       ndb_drop_table drops the specified NDB table. (If you try to use this on a table created with a storage engine other than NDB, the attempt
       fails with the error 723: No such table exists.) This operation is extremely fast; in some cases, it can be an order of magnitude faster
       than using a MySQL DROP TABLE statement on an NDB table.
	       Usage

	   ndb_drop_table -c connect_string tbl_name -d db_name

       The following table includes options that are specific to ndb_drop_table. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to
       most MySQL Cluster programs (including ndb_drop_table), see Options Common to MySQL Cluster Programs(1).
