DROP TABLESPACEtablespace_nameENGINE [=]engine_name
This statement drops a tablespace that was previously created
using CREATE TABLESPACE (see
Section 12.1.18, “CREATE TABLESPACE Syntax”).
Important
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 12.1.8, “ALTER TABLESPACE Syntax”).
The ENGINE clause (required) specifies the
storage engine used by the tablespace. In MySQL 5.1, the only
accepted values for engine_name are
NDB and
NDBCLUSTER.
DROP TABLESPACE was added in MySQL 5.1.6. In
MySQL 5.1, it is useful only with Disk Data storage for MySQL
Cluster. See Section 17.5.10, “MySQL Cluster Disk Data Tables”.
