Delete Table in DynamoDB Using Java (Guide w/ Code Examples)

To delete a DynamoDB table, you can use the DeleteTableRequest class.

You can provide the name of the table you wish to delete when using this class.

import software.amazon.awssdk.services.dynamodb.DynamoDbClient;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.dynamodb.model.DeleteTableRequest;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.dynamodb.model.DeleteTableResponse;

public class DeleteTableExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DynamoDbClient ddb = DynamoDbClient.create();

        String tableName = "my-table";

        DeleteTableRequest request = DeleteTableRequest.builder()
            .tableName(tableName)
            .build();

        DeleteTableResponse response = ddb.deleteTable(request);
        System.out.println("Table deleted : " + tableName);
    }
}
