DROP STAGE {FILE | FOLDER}

Syntax

DROP STAGE {FILE | FOLDER} '<stage_path>'
   [ { IN GROUP { ID '<deployment_ID>' | '<deployment_name>' } | IN { ID '<deployment_ID>' | '<deployment_name>' } } ]
   [RECURSIVE]

Arguments

• stage_path: The path to the file or folder in the Stage. Folder paths must end with a trailing /.

• deployment_ID, deployment_name: The ID or name of the deployment (cluster group) in which the Stage is attached.

Remarks

• The IN and IN GROUP clauses specify the ID or the name of the deployment in which the Stage is attached.

• To delete a folder, use the FOLDER '<stage_path>' ... [RECURSIVE] clause. The path must end with a trailing /.

• The RECURSIVE clause is only supported in the DROP STAGE FOLDER command.

• If the RECURSIVE clause is specified, the specified folder is deleted recursively, i.e., the contents of the specified folder are deleted before the folder itself is deleted.

• To delete a file, use the FILE <stage_path> ... clause.

Examples

• The following command deletes a file in the Stage attached to a deployment named s2-group:

  SQL

  Copy

  DROP STAGE FILE '/data/stats.csv' IN 's2-group';

• The following command deletes a folder in the Stage attached to a deployment named s2-group:
