ndb_drop_table \- drop an NDB table

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBndb_drop_table\fR
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\&.
