Description

UNCACHE TABLE removes the entries and associated data from the in-memory and/or on-disk cache for a given table or view. The underlying entries should already have been brought to cache by previous CACHE TABLE operation. UNCACHE TABLE on a non-existent table throws Exception if IF EXISTS is not specified.

Syntax

{% highlight sql %} UNCACHE TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] table_identifier {% endhighlight %}

Parameters

table_identifier
Specifies the table or view name to be uncached. The table or view name may be optionally qualified with a database name.

Syntax: [ database_name. ] table_name
### Examples {% highlight sql %} UNCACHE TABLE t1; {% endhighlight %} ### Related Statements * [CACHE TABLE](sql-ref-syntax-aux-cache-cache-table.html) * [CLEAR CACHE](sql-ref-syntax-aux-cache-clear-cache.html) * [REFRESH TABLE](sql-ref-syntax-aux-refresh-table.html)
