Cassandra Drop Keyspace

We can use the following Drop command to Drop a Keyspace in Cassandra.

Syntax:

DROP keyspace [ IF EXISTS ] keyspacename

Now let's see an example to drop a keyspace named cloudduggu using the drop keyspace command. First, we will use the describe keyspaces; command to check the existing keyspaces and then we will use the drop keyspace to drop the selected keyspace as mentioned below.

Command:

cqlsh> describe keyspaces;
cqlsh> DROP keyspace cloudduggu;
cqlsh> describe keyspaces;

Output:

In the following output, we can see the keyspace cloudduggu has been dropped.
