I have created schemas that I want to delete but there is data stored in them. If I delete them will the data stored in it will be automatically deleted or do I need to delete the data first? Also, how do I delete that data?

Hi @vikramsingh -

You can query the xtk:entity for the schema name to delete in the namespace ‘nms’, and use the Delete activity to delete it.

Hi @vikramsingh

You can delete the schema by using the sql query as :-

DROP TABLE tableName;

and if you want to delete the data, you can use

--To delete all the data
Delete from tableName; 

-- To delete a specific data
delete CoulumnName from tableName where condition;

Yes, if you delete the table directly all of the data will get erased.

For you reference.

Hi @vikramsingh

table and data within will remain in database when you delete the schema from AC.

If you want to delete it from DB as well initiate Tools/Advanced/Update database structure which will recognize that you deleted schema and prepare drop statements for your database and can confirm deletion in that window.
