Hive - Drop Database

This chapter describes how to drop a database in Hive. The usage of SCHEMA and DATABASE are
same.

Drop Database Statement


Drop Database is a statement that drops all the tables and deletes the database. Its syntax is as
follows:

DROP DATABASE StatementDROP (DATABASE|SCHEMA) [IF EXISTS] database_name


[RESTRICT|CASCADE];

The following queries are used to drop a database. Let us assume that the database name is userdb.

hive> DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS userdb;

The following query drops the database using CASCADE. It means dropping respective tables before
dropping the database.

hive> DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS userdb CASCADE;

The following query drops the database using SCHEMA.

hive> DROP SCHEMA userdb;

This clause was added in Hive 0.6.

JDBC Program

The JDBC program to drop a database is given below.

import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

public class HiveDropDb {


private static String driverName = "org.apache.hadoop.hive.jdbc.HiveDriv
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException {

// Register driver and create driver instance


Class.forName(driverName);

// get connection
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hive://localhost:1
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeQuery("DROP DATABASE userdb");

System.out.println(“Drop userdb database successful.”);

con.close();
}
}

Save the program in a file named HiveDropDb.java. Given below are the commands to compile and
execute this program.

$ javac HiveDropDb.java
$ java HiveDropDb

Output:

Drop userdb database successful.
