Purpose
Delete all files with extension from
bas_ext().
Synopsis
virtual int delete_table
( |
name); |
|
Description
This is the delete_table method.
Used to delete a table. By the time
delete_table() has been called all opened
references to this table will have been closed (and your
globally shared references released). The variable name will be
the name of the table. You will need to remove any files you
have created at this point.
If you do not implement this, the default
delete_table() is called from
handler.cc, and it will delete all files with
the file extensions returned by bas_ext().
We assume that the handler may return more extensions than were
actually used for the file.
Called from handler.cc by
delete_table and
ha_create_table(). Only used during create
if the table_flag
HA_DROP_BEFORE_CREATE was specified for the
storage engine.
Parameters
Return Values
Usage
Most storage engines can omit implementing this function.
