DROP PIPELINE
On this page
The DROP PIPELINE clause deletes a pipeline from your SingleStore cluster.
Syntax
DROP PIPELINE [IF EXISTS] pipeline_name;
Remarks
- 
        
After a pipeline has been dropped, any data related to the pipeline will also be deleted from the
information_tables associated with the Pipelines feature.schema  - 
        
This command causes implicit commits.
Refer to COMMIT for more information.  - 
        
The background tasks of a pipeline runs in its resource pool.
Therefore, a resource pool used by a pipeline cannot be dropped. For more information on resource pools, see Set Resource Limits.
 - 
        
Refer to the Permission Matrix for the required permissions.
 
Warning
If a pipeline is dropped and recreated, the pipeline will start reading from the earliest offset in the data source, once the pipeline is started.
