Catalog.DropTempView(String) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Microsoft.Spark.Sql.Catalog
Assembly:
Microsoft.Spark.dll
Package:
Microsoft.Spark v1.0.0

Drops the local temporary view with the given view name in the catalog. Local temporary view is session-scoped. Its lifetime is the lifetime of the session that created it, i.e. it will be automatically dropped when the session terminates. It's not tied to any databases, i.e. we can't use db1.view1 to reference a local temporary view.

You can create temporary views by taking a DataFrame and calling DataFrame.CreateOrReplaceTempView.
