ndb_drop_index drops the specified index
from an NDB
table. It
is recommended that you use this utility only as an example
for writing NDB API applications — see the
Warning later in this section for details.
Usage:
ndb_drop_index -cconnect_string
table_name
index
-ddb_name
The statement shown above drops the index named
index
from the
table
in the
database
.
Additional Options: None that are specific to this application.
Operations performed on Cluster table indexes using the NDB API are not visible to MySQL and make the table unusable by a MySQL server. If you use this program to drop an index, then try to access the table from an SQL node, an error results, as shown here:
shell>./ndb_drop_index -c localhost dogs ix -d ctest1
Dropping index dogs/idx...OK NDBT_ProgramExit: 0 - OK shell>./mysql -u jon -p ctest1

In such a case, your only option for
making the table available to MySQL again is to drop the table
and re-create it. You can use either the SQL
statementDROP TABLE
or the
ndb_drop_table utility (see
Section 15.4.10, “ndb_drop_table — Drop an NDB Table”) to
drop the table.
