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.

), and expanded prior to use.Searching begins with the leftmost named directory and proceeds from left to right until a file is found. An empty string denotes an empty search path, which causes all searches to fail. A string consisting of a single dot (
.
) indicates that the search path limited to the current working directory.If no search path is supplied, the compiled-in default value is used. This value depends on the platform used: On Windows, this is
\ndb-tls
; on other platforms (including Linux), it is$HOME/ndb-tls
. This can be overridden by compiling NDB Cluster using-DWITH_NDB_TLS_SEARCH_PATH
